Hey there, I'm Saphera Peters (or Saf), an illustrator based in Brampton, Canada, who brings joy to others through vibrant colours and dynamic compositions inspired by my South Asian culture.

In 2019 I invested in an iPad and dedicated an entire year to honing my drawing skills. Whether it was 20 minutes or 2 hours a day, I committed myself to consistent practice and improvement. Little did I know that this venture would ignite my love for digital art and illustration, propelling me forward to find my purpose in the world - to spark joy through art.

Growing up in a South Asian Household, art and creativity were often seen as mere distractions. However, as I discovered my true passion for art through my 365-day challenge, I had to break free from those beliefs and embrace my identity as a creative entrepreneur. I had to remind myself that pursuing my artistic aspirations didn't make me a failure; instead, it required courage to go against the norms I was taught.

Today, I am proud to be a full-time illustrator, representing the minority women in creative fields that were lacking during my own upbringing. Whether it's adorning public spaces with my art or crafting uplifting greeting cards, my ultimate goal is to bring smiles to people's faces.
