About me!
Hiya!
Arianwen (Ari) is an illustrator Cymraeg from South Wales.
Her work is inspired by her culture Cymraeg, using memories from her childhood growing up in Cymru to inform her illustrations. She is also inspired by what’s going on around her in the world from politics to wellbeing.
Ari cares about creating illustrations which encapsulates aspects of her culture including the language to preserve it for future generations. She values using her illustrations as her voice to advocate for things she believes in.
Working with imperfect handwritten typography, quirky character design and colourful world building Arianwen enjoys experimenting with texture and shape. She uses both traditional (i.e. watercolour and gouache) and digital ways of working, occasionally collaging both.
