Lydia Mercer is an illustrator and designer whose work often explores the symbolic, silly and sentimental. Influenced by the playful art of cartoons, mixed with the refined sensibilities of contemporary graphic design, she aims to create imagery that is both fun to look at and focused in its intent.
Originally from the high deserts of New Mexico, she is currently working as a freelance illustrator in Portland, OR. When she’s not creating something new, she can be found playing the kalimba, gardening or hanging with her cat Mo.
