The vibrant and colourful artwork featured on this website was done by Jasmin’s sibling, Savi Ross! You can find more information about them below!
Savi Ross is an African American, Torres Strait Islander illustrator based in Narrm Melbourne. As a queer, non-binary artist, their work celebrates the joy, relationships, and identities of queer people of colour. Savi’s illustrations often feature intimate scenes, playful colour, and, most importantly, people of colour loving themselves, each other, and their bodies.
