About Me
Gizem Vural is an award-winning illustrator who, unlike most, never knew she wanted to illustrate. Instead, Vural thought she wanted to be graphic designer – that's what she studied, had trained for, and had always imagined she would do. But when she moved from her home town of Istanbul to New York, Vural realized she wanted to draw for a living instead.
Now, her unique and vivid explosions of color can be seen in the pages of The New Yorker, The New York Times and The Boston Globe; Vural has also been recognized by the prestigious Society of Illustrators and American Illustration.
