About Siofra
I’m a freelance digital illustrator with a degree in design. I tend to work with themes such as feminism, self-love, and mental health in my work. I find that drawing and creating art often helps me work through any issues that I’m struggling with at the time. I love drawing women and mostly use pink in my work, as it’s a colour that always makes me feel happy.
Sense of Purpose
This illustration is about my path in life. I know who and what I want to be; I can see it clearly in my head. I’m ready to slay my own demons, and become the person I know I’m meant to be. My struggles will make me stronger and more secure in my inner self. It’s going to be a hard journey, but it’s also going to be worth it.
Fuzzy Brain
I was pushed to confront the kind of person I thought I was, and the person I really am after someone I thought knew me well made some very hurtful comments, and I worked through it with this illustration. Having to take a good hard look at yourself and examine what makes you you is hard, but necessary. Sometimes people don’t know you as well as they think they do, and vice versa. I was looking deep into my mind and how it was affecting my relationships, and now I understand myself better.
Head full of Scribbles
After a time where everything seemed to be going wrong all at once, I found myself at a point where things were looking up. I was going to therapy, and it seemed like I was finally discovering who I was as a person. Of course the issues were and are still there, but I felt lighter and more capable of going through life than I had in a very long time. Things were looking up; I was dancing again, and proudly carrying my head full of scribbles with me.
