Hi! I'm Serena.

I love both digital and traditional illustration, abstract shapes, fun colours, and not taking myself too seriously. I graduated from AUARTS in 2025 with a Bachelor of Design, specializing in Illustration/Character Design. Right now I'm working freelance, and running my own small business.

Within my practice, I strive to illustrate nature and the community experience within it to a fun new level-often using flowers and lush foliage as a repeating motif throughout. I value the relationships between the natural and the unnatural that takes place in our imagination, and am inspired by my community and nature around me, the early web and online virtual pet games. Yay!
