Cheecha Meneses is a Mexican American Illustrator with a heart full of whimsy, currently living and working in Portland OR. She was born in Chicago IL and started her journey by coloring barney books at four years old. This eventually turned into a career where Cheecha wanted to bring nostalgia back into the spaces of adulthood and inspire the youth. She is heavily inspured by films and books that lend to her keen eye for storytelling.

Cheechas work features delightful food and flora illustration, blending vibrant color, patter, and texture, all wrapped in soft, brushstrokes that invite you to reach out and touch the page. Drawing from the innocence of youth, she blends the nostalgia of childhood with the beauty of life, creating worlds and stories with dashes of sprinkle and magic.
