Clar (pronounced like Clark but without the 'k') is short for Clarisse (yes, like in The Silence of the Lambs). She was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia, graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration, and is currently based in Brooklyn, New York. An illustrator, animator, and comic artist with a passion for narrative art, she draws inspiration from stories, nature, and the people around her.
Outside of illustrations, animations, and comics, she could be found obsessing over her 20+ houseplants, lurking in random cafes, indulging in food and wine, or listening to true crime comedy podcasts.
