Approach

Parker-Nia paints digitally using Procreate on her iPad. She works in a vibrant colour palette that emphasises fun, excitement and the feeling of being young.

Style

It’s Parker-Nia’s characters that really stand out. Each has its own unique story, and is brought to life through strong facial expressions, body language and emotion. The mood extends to the settings she creates as well, using lighting, depth and texture to evoke imaginative new worlds for her characters to inhabit.
