About

Naida Harrell was born and raised in a rural Alaskan village/town. Quickly after her move to Dallas Texas in 2022, she immersed herself in Dallas’s creative community, becoming a children's book illustrator/ multidisciplinary artist. She received certifications in graphic design, Fundamentals of art, and typography. She then created “NJoy Illustrations” , a small business dedicated to giving individuals and businesses their artistic needs through custom commissioned artwork. She spends her nights as a Lighting Designer and Sound Engineer for live performances, in the daytime she creates artwork for clients, partners with local businesses, and participates in markets.

Artist Statement

Through my work, I invite viewers into the way I see the world, slightly tilted, observant, and tender toward the small, strange moments of being human. I hope each comic meets someone exactly where they are that day, giving them a brief sense of relief or recognition. If, even for a second, my work can pull someone out of the chaos and transport them into another perspective, then it has done its job. I want people to pause, look at my art, and think, “Huh, I never thought of it that way.”
