Hi, I’m SIYI AN, a Vancouver-based 2D artist with a passion for drawing and design. I blend traditional techniques with digital tools to create illustrations, graphic novels, and contemporary art that reflect storytelling and culture. I value collaboration, originality, and quality, and I enjoy shaping projects from concept to finished piece using Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint. I’ve taught portfolio and studio classes for high school students, led storyboard development on an indie film project, and independently created graphic novels such as A Bouquet for You and Tentacles. I’m fluent in English and Chinese and eager to contribute creative energy to teams that prioritize narrative clarity and craft.…Hi, I’m SIYI AN, a Vancouver-based 2D artist with a passion for drawing and design.
