Hi there!  I’m Delphine Lee, an illustrator and artist based in Washington DC area.

What really gets me going is creating images that explore common themes in everyday life and to break down complexities into smaller palatable bits through humor and sensitivity.  

I have a weakness for underdogs who dream big and accomplish impossible feats. Adventures of any kind, and kids just being kids are big themes in my work.  As a child, I drew way too many paper dolls and moved around a lot.  

I’ve been working as a freelance illustrator since 2016. However, my path here was not a straight one. I worked as a sweater designer in NYC for many years until my love for art and storytelling led me onto the path I am on today.    

My work can be seen in various publications worldwide.  

I would love to work with you!
