Aimée Liriano
Emerging illustrator from Santiago, Dominican Republic delivers whimsical & adorable moments with her work.
Artist Background
My name is Aimée Liriano and I’m an Illustrator from Santiago, Dominican Republic. I’m currently an Illustration Major at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. I get inspiration in the stories from my own personal experiences and the places I have been, but I’m also interested in editorial illustration. I’m currently working in a series of illustrations that pay tribute to my experience as a foreign exchange student, as a way to simultaneously focus on practicing perspective and landscape.
Advice I’d give to a young artist from the Diaspora:
Knock on all the doors and challenge yourself. Find a way to get as much constructive criticism as you can from people you look up to. Giving yourself projects is the best way to call them into existence.
