Available to hire
Hello! My name is Maliah Stokes. I am a multi-media artist. I went to University to graphic design, but I still love illustration and painting. I believe it’s important to have both traditional and digital skills as an artist. I enjoy collaborating with fellow artists and creating new projects. Beside art, I enjoy going to the gym, swimming, gardening, and drinking tea.
