ILLUSTRATOR & fine artist
Hi there! I'm DASHIENOVA, a 20 year old artist from the UK. (Drawing of my sona above!)I’ve made my debut as an illustrator/fine artist focusing mainly on watercolours and digital art. I make prints of my art, as well as badges, stickers and more! Commissions are also something I open up once in a while, as well as tabling at conventions.Things I enjoy, and often focus my artwork on, are nature, diversity/human variety, disability, LGBT+, animals, fantasy and surrealism. Themes that run throughout my work are eyes, bright colours, and myths/legends inspired things.
I share my work on social media (mostly Instagram and YouTube).
