I’m Frankie and I’m the Artist behind “Illustration by Kiwi”. My journey began with a passion for bringing illustrations to life, developing a fondness for sparking joy and enchantment in people through my creations since I was young. I was typically the child that was drawing all the time and wherever I could: it all started with Mangas and Comics, then my passion passed to Walt Disney World, and now I have decided that drawing will become my future! So, after graduating from the Academy of Arts and gaining expertise for over 15 years across diverse art mediums like comic books and illustrations as hobbies and commission for Friends and Family, my love for crafting distinctive artworks has been an enduring journey: after many years of looking for my style, I have discovered that live illustration is what really makes me happy! But my Artistic Journey hasn’t been straight forward: I have been a chef for the last 12 years, crafting my art between restaurants and bakeries, however my ambition is to grow my Live Illustration business to another level and dedicate my full time to illustrations and paintings! I believe in the power of art to connect, inspire, and bring smiles. Let's create something beautiful together, because your story deserves to be illustrated with love and care. #LOVE IS LOVE 🌈 As an LGBTQ+ Artist, I am committed to infusing a sprinkling of magic and compassion into memorable events, with a distinctive focus on the Queer community! Ps: You will meet as well, my wife, Kirsty! You can spot her during your Event, helping me with photos, video contents and chatting with your Guest!
