My name is China and I am a Printmaker and Illustrator based in Pittsburgh, PA.

I graduated from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco with a BFA in Illustration in 2014. Upon graduation I enrolled in an extension course at City College of SF and learned various printmaking techniques, including intaglio etching and relief linocut printmaking. I often use a time intensive reduction printmaking process where I print an image with multiple colors from a single block.

My work is often inspired by nature and I am curious about the world around me which I often depict in my illustrations. I like to take a fun and whimsical approach to my work and tell visual narratives, my illustrations can be described as having subtle color variations that pop.

When I'm not drawing I enjoy watching indie films, playing guitar, riding my bike and enjoying nature.
