Hello, thanks for stopping by!

I’m Reena, a Chinese-Canadian artist based in Queens, NY. I have a MFA in illustration from the School of Visual Arts, and am a licensed tattoo artist.

I love to draw for the physical act of drawing, and I love trying to capture small moments and details that show people being people. While I enjoy experimenting with both analog and digital mediums, I find myself always going back to an emotive line and a fun colour palette. When it comes to tattooing, I love bold designs and am super inspired by ornamental rugs and patterns.
