Ana Maria Vargas Duenas

Hey!

My name is Ana Maria (she\her)

I'm a queer Colombian artist based in Vancouver. I'm a graduate student in the 2D animation and Digital Art program at Langara College and I'm looking for projects to contribute to all around the globe.

​

Ever since my mom asked me to draw our house decorations for Halloween when I was 5, I've been obsessed with art and the ways it can impact an audience. My goal is to create impactful pieces full of personality that can represent

my culture as well.

​

I love to draw mystifying environments and odd characters, I also like to showcase diverse characters and represent different communities and cultures through my art. When I'm not drawing, I'm either obsessing over my favorite animated shows or exploring new sites to get inspiration from.
