ABOUT
Clar (pronounced like Clark but without the 'k') 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, or catching up on her never-ending list of things to read/watch/listen to.
