Giselle Landers is an artist and former graphic designer whose abstract paintings and wall relief sculptures explore the intersection of art and design. Her work draws on a wide range of visual languages—from modernist architecture, hieroglyphics, and typography to everyday packaging and pop culture imagery. Landers’ process, rooted in both digital and analog methods, reflects her background in graphic design, balancing structure with improvisation. She earned a BFA from Syracuse University and later studied at The Royal Drawing School, completing a Graduate Diploma in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts in London. Her work has been exhibited in group exhibitions in London, New York, and Connecticut, and is held in private collections. In 2026, she was selected for the Canopy Program, where she will work under the mentorship of artist Erika Ranee. She serves on the board of the Katonah Museum Artists’ Association and lives and works in Connecticut.

“Color, form, and symbol are my main materials. I am curious about how visual motifs are translated across cultures and contexts, and my work draws on a wide mix of sources: modernist architecture, hieroglyphics, logos, alphabets, advertising, botanical forms, graffiti. These aren't illustrations of a single idea, they're more like signals sent out into the world, inviting viewers to find their own association. “
