Her visual storytelling blends cross-cultural and lived experiences with lighthearted humour to create cute and cheeky art. Her art is inspired by childhood memories, third-culture kid stories, mental health advocacy, and growing up Asian. Beyond art, she’s also a brand marketer, drinks business founder, dog mom, and just a typical perpetually tired, peak millennial woman trying to navigate the ever-changing world.Follow Kar!Instagram: @sketchykarr Website: sketchykarr.com Support the showThank you for listening!
