About the Artist

This Lent series features images from regions where Tearfund's partners are working, with hand lettering from Rani Gillan.

Rani Gillan
Rani Gillan is a graphic designer and lettering artist.

Rani is a graphic designer and lettering artist living and working on Quandamooka country on Brisbane's bayside. Rani has been a follower and supporter of Tearfund Australia's work since her primary school years when she first heard about their Useful Gifts at a church Christmas stall. As someone who identifies as a person living with a disability, she is particularly drawn to Tearfund's heart for social justice work and helping the world's most marginalised, including First Nations people.

Rani works across digital and analogue mediums and loves using her hands to create lettering art and calligraphy that brings beauty to the world. When she isn't designing, Rani likes learning how people live in communities across the globe through her love of world cinema, and about herself by creating food that connects her to her South Asian heritage.

Each year she looks forward to receiving her Lent study series from Tearfund in the mail, and contributing her artwork to the series this year has made the tradition extra special.
