Taiga here!
I'm a native Pacific Northwest artist that has much love for all things cute and quirky. Much of my inspiration stems from the characters I grew to love throughout my life as well as my personal experiences as an Asian American.
I've been drawing since I was a young child, but I didn't start taking art seriously until the last couple years in which I've leaned on my creative outlet to offset the stress and anxiety from work. I hope that my art can also bring a bit of respite or joy to everyone's day.
I attended my very first event at Smol Art Mart in June 2023 and never looked back. Meeting with old and new fans in person as well as other amazing artists was truly fulfilling. Since then I've attended more local events from Sakura-con to Japan Fair and hope to one day start attending events outside of Washington state.
Outside of art, you can find me enjoying a variety of activites that I also draw inspiration.
Video Games
Ever since I picked up a gameboy color at my day care to play my first ever session of Pokemon Red, I've been a lover of video games. Some titles close to my heart are the Pokemon franchise, Hollow Knight, and Okami.
Traveling
I love traveling to broaden my horizons and learn about various cultures around the world. While Asia currently stands as my favorite contient to explore (Japan and Taiwan taking the cake), I look forward to exploring more of Europe and South America.
My Furbaby, Roo
What can I say, look how cute she is.
