Dawn Yang

Freelance illustrator based in New York, US. She was born and raised in small country in Dongbei. She moved to Zhuhai with her family when she was 5 years old.

Most of the inspirations come from her personal living experience, lyric, and book. She is also deeply influenced by Art Deco and the Japanese culture. It is important to find the balance of life, such as between her logical and emotional mind. Therefore, you can tell some of her illustrations are expressing her understanding about balancing.
