Hi, I’m Ava! I’m an illustrator based in Sarasota, Florida. I’m currently a student at Ringling College of Art and Design, and will graduate in 2026 with a BFA in Illustration.
I enjoy creating illustrations that play into specific moods and tell a story. I love playing with texture and organic flowey shapes. I am inspired by the world around me, and inner worlds as I love portraying abstract emotions and experiences visually.
When I’m not drawing, you can find me cooking, taking pictures of nature, and making things with clay
