About the Artist

Ava — Illustrator | Designer | Creative Storyteller


My Journey

Hello, I’m Ava, a Toronto-based illustrator, designer, and lifelong creative.
Although I began my journey with a degree in art, life took me down a different path. For over two decades, I worked in the corporate world while my passion for art remained quietly in the background. A career shift reignited that spark and since then, I’ve fully embraced my creative roots.


My Work

I create bold, expressive illustrations that celebrate identity, culture, and storytelling.
Whether it’s digital portraits, vibrant patterns, or limited-edition prints, every piece is crafted with intention, colour, and a sense of joy. My artistic style is defined by clean outlining, vivid hues, and a deep appreciation for the details that make each subject unique.


Tools & Techniques

My primary medium is Procreate, where I bring ideas to life using digital techniques that mirror traditional illustration styles. From sketch to final polish, each work is shaped by a thoughtful and hands-on process.


What I Offer

In addition to original artwork, I offer:

  • Custom Commissions

  • Limited-Edition Fine Art Prints

  • Luxurious Silk Scarves (Wearable Art)

  • Creative Collaborations


My Mission

Art was always part of me even when it took a back seat. Now, I’m honouring that voice and sharing it with the world. Through each piece, I aim to celebrate beauty, resilience, and individuality one meaningful creation at a time.
