About
Hi, I’m Riza Cruz and I’m a California, Bay Area raised illustrator, designer, and paper crafter (who now lives in Los Angeles). My illustrations and paper crafts are inspired by both real things in life as well as the fun made up things.
I love working in paper because the tactile feel of working directly with my hands to create art is where I connect with the work and my audience. I love how my paper cut illustrations show the mark of the artist and indicate the time and care I take with each project.
