Lalaith Ma
I am a Canadian-Chinese illustrator based in Markham, Ontario. My bilingual upbringing instilled my deep appreciation for both Western and Chinese histories. From a young age, I found myself captivated by ancient mythology, history, and fantastical stories, which fuelled my passion for artistry.
I aspire to create vintage-flavoured decorative illustrations and posters that capture the essence of the topics that move and inspire me. I seek to share my passion and joy with others through my art, spreading the beauty and wonder of storytelling to everyone I encounter.
