Erin Jia/Yiran Jia is a New Jersey-based, Chinese-born artist and illustrator. She draws inspiration from both real-life observations and imaginative contexts from reading. With a background of graphic design, her style is infused with striking compositions and bold shapes, also with recognizable lines influenced by woodcuts. She graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design with a degree in MFA Illustration. When she’s not working, she always strolls around and draws sketches.
