Rebecca Guay’s (pronounced “Gay”) paintings and illustrations have been called romantic, vivid, rich and elegant in color, and powerful in design and line. She has a strikingly classical, feminine style that favors the use of acryla-gouache and oil.

Since then she has established a broad career in art/illustration. Her clients include DC, Vertigo, Marvel, and Dark Horse Comics, Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro (MtG), MTV Animation, Lucas Film, Simon & Schuster, Scholastic, Houghton Mifflin, Barefoot Books, and more. Additionally, Rebecca’s illustrations and personal paintings are in museums and private collections around the world, including the American Museum of Illustration at the Society of Illustrators in NYC.

Rebecca’s illustrations have graced various trading card series and she is also well known for her work in the very popular collectable card game Magic: The Gathering. In 2003 her first children’s book, Goddesses: A World of Myth and Magic, was published by Barefoot Books and received critical praise, and her painted illustrations have frequently appeared in the well-adored children’s publication, Cricket Magazine.
Recent projects include two graphic novels, A Flight of Angels with Holly Black (Vertigo Comics) and The Last Dragon with Jane Yolen (Dark Horse Comics). Praise for her recent books includes “Occasionally someone executes a standard storytelling device with such dazzling skill that it reminds you why that device became standard in the first place. Rebecca Guay is that someone with A Flight of Angels (Scripps Howard News Service) and “If Superman is the Strength of Comics, A Flight of Angels is the Soul” (Ain’t It Cool News).
Currently, Rebecca divides her time among illustration, gallery work, and running her professional art/illustration intensive mentorship programs The Illustration Master Class, and SmArt School.
