About Tori

I’m Tori Press—an artist, author, self-love advocate, therapy enthusiast, and highly anxious human being. I spent most of my adult life working as a freelance graphic designer before deciding to close down my business and create space in my life.

Drawing cartoons was what came in to fill it up.

I bought myself a sketchbook and set of markers as a Christmas gift in 2016 and began drawing pictures inspired by yoga practice, mental health struggles, and everyday life... a decision that started me on an extraordinary adventure of growth, self-discovery,  and human connection.

I draw about what it's like to be a human being: the good, the bad, the confusing and messy and vulnerable. I'm drawing to  help myself cultivate more mindfulness, joy, gratitude, and self-acceptance in my life, and I hope my art helps shine a little light for you on your own path as well. 

I live in Los Angeles, California, with my husband, two daughters, and dog.
