HELLO
I am an artist and writer based in Canada, who works semi-anonymously under the pseudonym Ambivalently Yours. My artistic practice aims to highlight the transformative potential that exists within conflicting emotions.
Illustration
I am known for my unique hand-drawn illustrations, created with ink, watercolour and digital editing. I draw from my emotions, and those of strangers online who’ve been sharing their complicated feelings with me since the 2010s Tumblr years. I specialize in mixed feelings, figurative & surreal shapes , delicate & harsh sentiments, pastel & vivid colours.
Animation
Like my drawings, my animating process combines traditional techniques on paper with the enhancement of digital editing tools. While this technique is less immediate than fully digital animations, the final results are one-of-a-kind, colourful, emotionally rich animations, that leave a lasting impression.
creative content
Over the last ten years, many of my illustrations and animations have been shared virally on the Internet. In response, I have utilized my ability to create impactful social media assets, to help others share their stories online. I specialize in social media still and animated posts, online branding, and the creation of online retail shops and digital galleries. I have worked with a wide range of clients such as artists, musicians, restauranteurs, fashion designers, beauty brands, social justice organizations and more.
