Jerilyn Guerrero

“There was always a silent discomfort in not seeing much of anything that represents people like me and where I’m from.”

Meet Jerilyn

Jerilyn Guerrero is a CHamoru and Filipino multidisciplinary illustrator and designer based in Los Angeles, CA. Born on the island of Guam, her experience growing up on her native island and her time spent in New Jersey and California combine in the different lenses that she uses to view life and develop creative work.

Jerilyn’s art celebrates self-reflection and self-sovereignty. For her Artist Development Fund project, she responds to the Celebration of Self creative brief. She says, “My images are an extension of the theme I’m next exploring in my illustration work, which is, ‘Growing through joy’. I communicate different ways a person may tend to themselves with more care and grace, to nurture the peace and joy in their lives.”
