Hello! I’m Siena, an artist based in Indianapolis, IN
As an artist, I aspire to create inviting artwork that reaches the masses, tickles their funny bone, and piques their curiosity.
I use imaginative artwork to build bridges between siloed groups. We have much more in common with each other and with nature than we are led to believe.

I added pizzazz to a new bike shop with a cheeky mural designed to be inviting, vibrant eye candy.
The Power of Imaginative Illustration
Sensory delight fuels resilience
The suffocating weight of reality can drain the world of color. We can’t take on the world when we are in survival mode. The first step in building resilience is basking in sensory delight. Smell a flower, feel the cool wind on your face, hear a crackling fire, touch a mossy log, look at something arrestingly beautiful.
Revel in the bittersweet beauty of life
In resistance to negativity, amusing illustration helps my mental health to keep fighting for a more beautiful world. Beauty helps us remember what we are fighting for. The little moments of laughter and human connection make life worth living. Helping someone laugh in spite of the crushing weight of the world makes a world of difference in how they move through life.
Imaginative artwork opens people up to other ways of thinking
Creative breakthroughs rely on imaginative play. Nurturing our imaginations is a radical act because playful thinking will solve big problems. Plus, amusing artwork is just plain fun! Bringing a smile to someone’s face is always a win and creates a ripple effect of positive change.
