About me

Kita is an Illustrator and Life Drawing Tutor, works are inspired by fashion, nostalgia and escapism. Traditional hand-drawings are elevated through digital mediums to add a playful element. Passionate about Neurodiversity, pointing awareness and educating about the differences of the brain. As a neurodivergent herself, you will see how deeply involved it is in her daily life can be recognised through her work, through the use of exaggerated colour to evoke similar feelings experienced through sensory differences.
