Hi, I'm Myriam Achour Soumati, a self-taught artist, feminist, and advocate for freedom. I work as a freelance illustrator and painter, blending my passion for minimal lines and detailed shading with my background in marketing and project management. I am a hardworking and detail-oriented individual who loves the power of sisterhood, painting, drawing, music, and of course, food! Originally from France and Algeria, I am a curious and friendly introvert who can speak multiple languages. My work has been exhibited in London through solo and group shows, and I collaborate internationally on creative projects in illustration, content production, and design. I'm passionate about creating meaningful visual stories and delivering exceptional client service.
