An Illustration by Eleanor Doughty

Eleanor Doughty

Eleanor Doughty is a Virginia-born, Seattle-based freelance artist, specializing in travel illustration and urban scenery. Graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University (BFA ’13) she has worked with companies including the Boston Globe, Hilton, Indiewalls, Marriott, VICE, and west elm, as well as many small businesses and individuals. Eleanor is at her happiest while traveling the world, sketchbook in hand—she recently completed a 2.5 month solo painting trip through Japan and Taiwan. Perhaps because she is the offspring of two cartographers, her illustration is strongly connected to place; plein air sketching is integral to this artist’s practice.
