Saaya Weaver is a visual artist from Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan, currently residing in Queens, New York. Saaya’s illustrative work is vibrant and intricate - often depecting exaggerated scenes from her everyday life. She grew up as a philatelist and sticker collector, so you’re bound to see stamps and stickers from her personal collection incorporated in her illustrations. Maximalist aesthestics and the experience of using a variety of materials is what drives Saaya to create her obsessive drawings and paintings.
Saaya also designs Ex Libris rubber stamps which she started when she worked at a bookstore to promote reading among her friends.
