Alina Pringle is a neurodivergent illustrator who studied at the Rhode Island School of Design. Raised amidst the farmlands and woods of Upstate New York, Alina's passion for storytelling and character creation began in childhood through long imaginative romps through the woods. Her illustrations celebrate the quirks and whimsical qualities of individuals, often drawing from her own experiences as an shy and introverted kid. Alina's art promotes body positivity and puberty awareness, shedding light on topics often stigmatized by society. She delights in combining various mediums, including watercolor, collage, embroidery, and colored pencil in unexpected ways. Alina's greatest ambition is to inspire others to embrace their quirkiness and find joy in the unexpected through her art.
When not illustrating, Alina can be found making jewelry, oil painting, and scrapbooking with friends.
