About Basil Collier
(They / Them)
Basil Collier was born in Modesto, CA, and hasn't stopped drawing ever since. They have always been inspired by animals, nature, and inexplicably nostalgic imagery. Combining that with the fun of mythical creatures, folk tales, and fiber art is what drives them to create complex illustrations and designs that seem to come from another world.
As a mixed media artist they go with the flow and work with digital programs, fiber, paint, paper, resin, fabric, pencil, and even sometimes creating huge murals! Every project is a new opportunity to grow and change the world around them for Basil, and they can't wait to help you get started on your next dream.

Empowering the Youth
In 2023, I started working as a mentor to underpriveledged kids at Cricket's Hope in Modesto. I worked part-time instructing kids on how to use art to regulate their intense emotions through self expression. Since then I have mentored 2 kids on an individual level. I have worked with kids from elementary to high school level.
