My name is Maria Sauda, I'm a digital illustrator and character designer. I also love traditional painting and graphic design.

I am self-taught for the most part, I have attended workshops at the Florence Classical Arts Academy on portraiture & landscape, and plan to attend more when I can. I am open to freelance work. My ultimate dream is to illustrate a children's book.

Mission Statement

I have a lot of intentions with my art. My illustrations are meant to spread kindness, friendship, love, peace, and happiness. They're meant to encourage others to be kind to animals. And, in cases where my art is not necessarily cute, I always want to depict subjects that are educational and inspiring.
