Episode #5: Salvadorian & Mexican-American Illustrator Iliana Galvez
In this episode, I chat with Mexican & Salvadorian American illustrator Iliana Galvez. Iliana is a Latinx illustrator born and raised in the San Fernando Valley who creates bright, bold, and unapologetic art celebrating people of all sizes. Her work is extremely empowering and unapologetic and she really creates work that uplifts black and brown femmes. Keep on listening to hear us chat about Iliana's complicated family dynamic, how she decided to quit her career as a nurse aide to be an artist, struggling with imposter syndrome, and her routine to stay creative, especially during the winter season.
Episode #4: Mexican American Interdisciplinary Artist Tamara Santibañez
In this episode, I chat with Mexican-American illustrator Marisol Muro. Marisol is an LA-county-born and raised illustrator who creates 60 & 70s inspired illustrations that just take you back in time into a retro world full of kitschy imagery and nostalgic color palettes. Marisol originally went to school for Fashion Design and worked in the fast-fashion industry for 12 years before ditching her 9-to-5 to freelance as an illustrator in 2020. I had so much fun chatting with Marisol all about her relationship with the term “Mexican-American”, why it took her so long to leave her stable career, and how she landed her collaboration with Pleasing — Harry Styles’ beauty brand.
