“Finding the uncanniness and the tenderness in mundane experience.”
Hi, I'm Yixin Chen (she/they). I'm a Chinese illustrator based in Toronto, Canada and Shenzhen China. I completed by Bachelor of Design in Illustration in OCAD University in 2025. I mainly use Procreate for drawing but enjoy creating artworks with risograph, screenprinting, intaglio and acrylic paint as well.
