Aliyah Clarke

Hello there,

My name is Aliyah Clarke and I am a recent Graduate of Sheridan's Honour's Bachelor of Illustration Degree. I have a background of teaching traditional visual arts such as life drawing, human anatomy, perspective and traditional painting as a chosen (TA) Professor's Assistant. My professional experience also includes brand development, editorial published works, content marketing and graphic design. 

I have a deep passion for art education, history and culture. My current illustrative and tattoo works are inspired by the cultural history and arts of West Africa and South Asia. 

Currently, my intention is to explore opportunities within art education, gallery curation, editorial work and freelance illustrative/animated works. 

Thank you kindly,

Aliyah Clarke

I specialize in creating custom tattoos to reconnect and inspire individuals to embrace their cultural heritage, with a focus on individuals of West African and South Asian Descent.

Worked with the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto to conduct an art workshop on storytelling through editorial illustration (2023)
