Do you need a digital illustration, a master painting, or help with your graphics? Hi, I'm Meher... a senior illustrator with 10+ years experience creating designs using Adobe Creative Suite, namely Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. My niche is digital illustrations for t-shirt graphics and fashion brands startups. I am also a master painter... my mediums are soft pastels, pastel pencils, acrylics and sometimes, watercolors. My style, realistic and impressionistic. I have also painted portraits for multiple clients on Upwork. Today, I am enjoying incorporating ai into my illustrating/design process. The end results are quite remarkable. I am also creating my new portfolio website on the ai tool, Lovable. It should be up and running within a week. Until then, you can view some of my latest projects on my Upwork profile page. With a Master's degree in Fine Arts, a decade and a half of experience on Upwork, and being onboard with fusing ai with my own creativity, I believe my future projects will not only be exciting but also, one-of-a-kind. Most importantly, I always see the projects through my client's eyes and deliver precisely what they envision, regardless of my methods and tools. So, message me if you need my help, or if you just want to talk about the new world of art + ai :)

I am a recent graduate with a Bachelors in Art Education. I have experience with a variety of media including: graphite, watercolor, acrylic, pastels, and mixed media. I have almost ten years of experience with drawing and painting. I have won Best of Show in two art competitions and one of my paintings was purchased by the University Museum. I am interested in developing my art portfolio through freelance work, especially with illustrations and portraiture. I have experience with figure drawing, color design, and narrative art that would apply to any illustration projects. I also learned how to employ the elements of art and principles of design to create an interesting and unified composition, which is something that I endeavor to include in all of my work.

I'm an artist with a passion for realism and the techniques of the oil painting masters. From masterful painted portraits to whimsical digital illustrations, my skills can handle the task!

I am an Academically trained Oil Painter from the DAAP program at the University of Cincinnati. I have a strong foundation in design fundamentals, drawing, oil painting, and adobe creative suite. I was fortunate to begin oil painting in high school and fell in love with the medium. I am well versed in art history from many cultures including Asian, African, European, Indian, and Russian. I also study Yoga/meditation, Taichi, Wing Chun, and Aikido. I have had my work displayed in exhibitions at the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center, 304 gallery, and the Reed Gallery.
