Racheal Bruce is a St. Louis-born illustrator and educator. She graduated in the first class of MFA in Illustration and Visual Culture at Washington University and is the Assistant Professor in Illustration at Webster University. 

Racheal specializes in book illustration, editorial illustration, and poster design. Her work imbues the feeling that a fantastical unreality could exist in our physical world, with all of the whimsy and eeriness that comes with it. She's curious how an audience interacts with their own feelings of superstition.

Selected Winner for Society of Illustrators 65. Selected Winner for Society of Illustrators West 63. Shortlist for first Booooooom Illustration Awards.
