Siara Faison

Illustrator

Hello and welcome to my portfolio! My name is Siara Faison, and I'm a Mexican and Black artist with a passion for telling inclusive stories through my work.

As someone who grew up loving cozy stories, I always felt a bit left out of these genres because of the lack of representation for people like me. I always wanted to see characters who looked and felt like me, who had similar struggles and joys to what I have experiences, who lived in worlds that were diverse and inclusive.

This is why I became an illustrator and dedicated my life's mission to creating art that fills that gap. I want to put more POC, LGBT+, and differently-abled individuals in the forefront of the stories we tell, to show that they too can be heroes, villains, adventurers, or just everyday people living their lives.

I try to create are that is vibrant, colorful, expressive, and full of life. I am always growing and enjoy experimenting with different techniques to tell my stories. I enjoy giving my characters a whimsical or fantastical setting that transports people to a different world. I also enjoy the opportunity to illustrate for an upcoming children's book!

When I'm not drawing, I like to read, watch movies and TV shows, and spend time with my loved ones. I tend to draw my inspiration from the stories I read, the movies I watch, the people I meet, and the world around me. and I'm always eager to continue learning and growing as an artist.

Thank you for visiting my portfolio, I hope you enjoy my art as much as I enjoy creating it!
