☀️About
My name is Xintong Yang. You can just call me Dawn.
I originally came from a small city called Zhuhai, in the south of China, near Hong Kong and Macau.
In 2018, I went to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design for my Master of Fine Arts Degree.
After graduation, I became an illustrator, animator, and art educator based in Brooklyn, NY.
Most of my inspiration comes from my daily life, song lyrics, and books.
It is important for me to find balance in life, such as between my logical and emotional sides. Therefore, I like to express this understanding of balance in a lot of my illustrations.
