A little about me
A little cafecito. A lot of character.
I’m Silvia, a Cuban-American cartoonist and illustrator based in South Florida. I make playful, character-driven artwork inspired by everyday cultura, hand-drawn humor, bright color, and the little bit of nonsense that makes ordinary things feel alive.
I’ve created work for Cafe La Llave, Unbranded Brewing, Doctor Collectible, the Miami Parking Authority, and community events across South Florida. I’m available for custom illustration, packaging, event artwork, apparel, and community or public art projects.
