About Riya

Bold, brave, and born
to create

Drawing has been my passion since I was a child. I have always been deeply creative, but for a long time I felt like I didn't quite fit in. There were spaces in the world that felt too small for me, too limiting. I have always believed I was put into this world to be bold, to be big, to be brave. To squeeze myself out of the cages that society tries to place around you.

Art became the way I did that. It gave me a voice when I couldn't find the words, and it has truly helped me with my mental health and my anxiety. When I sit down to draw, I find peace. I find calm. I find myself.

Every drawing I create for someone carries a part of my soul. There is love in it, there is passion in it, and there is talent I have spent my whole life nurturing. I put my everything into every single piece because this is what I love to do. Getting to be a part of your most meaningful moments, your anniversaries, your celebrations, your loved ones, fills me with real joy. It is a privilege I never take for granted.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

Fill out the enquiry form on this page, share what you have in mind, describe your vision, and upload your reference images. I will review everything and get back to you within 48 hours with pricing and next steps. Every quote is personalised because no two drawings are ever the same.

No. All pricing is tailored to each individual commission. The complexity of the image, the amount of detail required, and the size of the piece all influence the final quote. Once I have reviewed your reference images and we have had a conversation, I will give you a personalised price for your drawing.

Clear, well-lit, high-resolution photos work best. Good lighting makes a significant difference, so please avoid heavily filtered, blurry, or very dark images where possible. The crisper your reference, the more detail I can capture in the drawing. If you are unsure, send through a few options and I will advise on which will work best.

Yes, this is something I specialise in. If you have photos of two different people, subjects, or scenes you would like merged into a single piece, I have the skills to bring them together seamlessly. Combined drawings take a little more planning, so we will always have a conversation before I begin to make sure the result is exactly right.

Not always. Some images are difficult to work from, particularly if they are very small, blurry, or heavily backlit. Every enquiry goes through a consultation first, so I will always let you know upfront if a photo is not going to work and suggest alternatives where possible. It is a conversation, not a transaction.

Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the piece and my current schedule. Once we have discussed your commission and agreed on pricing, I will give you an estimated completion timeframe. If you have a specific deadline such as a birthday, anniversary, or event, please mention this in your enquiry so we can plan accordingly.

Absolutely. My drawings are made to be displayed and cherished, framed beautifully on a wall or gifted as something that truly lasts. Framing and delivery options will be covered during our consultation.

Yes. I ship worldwide. No matter where you are in the world, I can get your drawing to you safely. Shipping details and costs will be discussed during your consultation.
