Tikina Brownoff

Tikina is an Alberta-based printmaker, illustrator, and creator who balances crafting user journeys by day and "mom-ing" in the evenings with creating minimal, geometric linocut prints and digital illustrations. Inspired by the natural world and personal connections, she often finds solace and creative reset by getting out in nature, especially where she can hear only birdsong and, if lucky, the trickling of a creek, and also finds a unique sense of grounding when looking up at the moon. While she primarily explores her creativity for enjoyment, Tikina also relishes transforming loved ones' ideas into unique, lasting pieces.
