Serena Yu

...CV


Hi! Thanks for visiting my portfolio site!

My name is Serena Yu, I’m a community and sustainability oriented artist, designer, and nature lover from Vancouver, Canada, currently residing in and studying illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, RI! 

My practice is a constantly evolving process of exploration and discovery.  I am interested in exploring material patterns, functions, relations, and intricacies of the natural world.  Passionate, positive, and determined, I thrive under pressure and love to work in collaborative environments.

Natural Pigments & Material Exploration



My process is increasingly material based, as I approach my artwork from a site specific lens and foraging standpoint. How do my pigments, foraged from my surrounding site, begin to represent not only pigment but changes in season, climate, and ecology?
