Felia was born and raised in Bali, a tropical heaven with friendly faces and too much sun.
Somewhere along the way she fell in love with drawing and filled her elementary notebooks with sketches. The dream to become an artist never faded away as she grew older, so she went to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where she studied Illustration andcompleted her BFA. Her style is best described as whimsical, colorful, and endearing. By combining colors, light, and expressions she strives to bring images and stories to life. When she is not drawing, she usually reads, drinks coffee, plays video games, or looks for inspiration in nature.
