Liz Amini HolmesGUEST
My name is Liz Amini Holmes, and I am a Bay Area illustrator, artist, and arts facilitator now.
Liz Amini HolmesGUEST
I was born and raised in the Bay Area, mostly in San Francisco, and then moved to the peninsula.
Liz Amini HolmesGUEST
I went to the Academy of Art University to get a BFA in editorial illustration.
