Elijah Vardo
IllustratorGrowing up on a Traveller Site, Elijah is a Romany Gypsy who is passionate about spreading a light on the beauty of his Romany roots. Inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites and the Art Nouveau movement, Elijah expresses his art through delicately strong themes, that empowers communities to embrace their heritage, as well as tackling stereotypes by representing Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people in a tender-hearted manner. As a gay man, Elijah is also passionate about LGBTQ+ rights, finding diverse themes to approach a story-telling, whimsical art style.
