About the Artist

Rachel "Tuna" Petrovicz is a multimedia illustrator and comic-maker born and raised in North Vancouver. Specializing in the cute, colourful, and sometimes creepy, she aims to use her work to brighten this confusing world, and delight the inner child inside us all. Colour is the core of her practice. By exploring limited palettes across different themes and mediums, she injects the extra- into the ordinary. Common subjects include animals (especially cats!), landscapes, cartoons, and characters. In addition to colour, storytelling is an integral part of the Art by Tuna experience. Whether it is through narrative works like graphic novels and comics, or simply through details peppered in single-frame art, evoking a depth of worldbuilding is a tenant of her practice. Each piece should feel like it belongs in the "Art by Tuna-verse". As a professional, she works freelance, commission, and produces her own merchandise. No path is off limits, and exploration is the goal!
