Bernadette is a multi-disciplinary Artist and Art Director based in New York City.

With an adaptable range of creative talents and an eye for exceptional taste, my style has led to collaborations that have spanned countries. My work includes published pieces for books, major magazines, and high-visibility advertising campaigns. I’ve designed key collateral for premium brands, including marketing campaigns and branding experiences for both global and boutique advertising agencies.

I’m best known for my work as an illustrator and painter, using my art to create meaningful content across a range of platforms. With a sweet spot for fashion and beauty, I offer a growing set of creative services, including hand lettering, pattern design, and graphic design. My discerning eye, thoughtful editing, and ability to translate complex ideas into refined visuals—marked with a signature elevated touch—have helped me evolve from artist to art director.

In my role as an art director, I often lead multiple areas of the process—from strategy and concept development to creation, styling, and photography. In recent years, I’ve expanded my focus to include lifestyle and home, adding interiors to my creative repertoire. These skills have been applied to a wide array of projects commissioned by leading luxury, ready-to-wear, mass-market, bridge, and independent brands around the world.

Always looking for new and innovative ways to create meaningful work, I’ve recently taken a deep dive into 3D creative technology. I’m currently working as a consulting art director, leading 3D imagery for Fortune 1 brand campaigns and brand-partnership content.

I live in Brooklyn with my husband and our daughter, Georgia Cy.
