Gee’s creative process is fuelled by a passion for cultural exchange with food, drawing inspiration from a rich tapestry of experiences, cultures, and emotions.
From the vibrant energy of local markets to the intimate connections forged over communal meals, Gee finds beauty and significance in everyday moments. Her illustrative art and design celebrate these experiences, expressing joy and connection.

As an Artist, Illustrator, maker, and creative host, Gee embraces a diverse range of mediums including illustrating, print-making, textiles & ceramics. Unified by themes of her gastronomy & the garden, she enjoys making intersections with fashion, and travel.
Beyond the studio, Gee extends her artistic vision into the realm of creative direction, blending art, storytelling, and meticulous attention to detail to events. Her supper clubs, including the recent A Spring Table at Soho Farmhouse (March 25’) , are more than just dining experiences - they are curated gatherings where food, art, and sensory experiences merge, to foster connection and joy. Each event is a living extension of her artistic practice, where every element, from table design to the menu, is thoughtfully considered to create a cohesive and enchanting atmosphere.
Since graduating with a BA (Hons) in Illustration from the UoG in 2023, Gee has received several awards for her artistic endeavours, including a shortlist last year for the ‘New Contemporaries’ and multiple solo exhibitions. Her work has been internationally commissioned and exhibited nationally.
Gee moves fluidly between disciplines, weaving together art, design, and experience to craft rich, multi-sensory experiences. Her work seamlessly adapts to both commercial and fine art projects, as well as immersive events, making her a highly regarded collaborator in industries spanning hospitality, publishing, literature, fashion, and in design.
