Hello!
I'm Patricia Claro
and I'm a Filipino Canadian Freelance Illustrator and Art Educator based in Ottawa. I’m a graduate of Seneca Polytechnic with an honours diploma in Illustration. I have a background in Interior Design, and I completed a certification program in Background and Layout for Animation from CGMA.
I enjoy creating character designs and building 3D architectural pieces. My works are heavily influenced by people of colour, culture, history, animals, and the environment. I am highly adaptable, with a portfolio that includes cute children's book illustrations, vector graphics, and stylized conceptual art.
Besides making art, I have a knack for reading, online gaming, blogging, and going on food trips.
