Hi! I’m Rahana, an illustrator based in London. My work is all about celebrating diversity, colour, and the beauty of individuality. Whether it’s through vibrant portraits, bold patterns, or expressive storytelling, I aim to create art that resonates with people from all walks of life.

I believe that art has the power to reflect our diverse experiences and identities, and I strive to bring that perspective into everything I create. With each piece, I focus on capturing the richness of human connection, wrapped in colour and creativity.

When I’m not drawing, you’ll find me looking for inspiration from the world around me, and always looking for ways to bring even more colour and joy into my work.

In Loving Memory of Rahana 💛🤍

RahanaBanana is more than just a name, it’s a piece of Rahana that continues to live on through her art.

As her sister, I worked closely with Rahana behind the scenes as her shop manager. I saw first-hand how much this meant to her, not just as a business but as something she truly wanted to grow and bring back even stronger. Reopening RahanaBanana is something we spoke about and I am continuing it with the same love, intention and vision she always had.

Her illustrations meant so much to her and they deserve to keep reaching people, just as she always intended.

This relaunch is also dedicated to something meaningful. A portion of proceeds will go towards a Scholarship in Rahana’s name, helping to support and uplift others in a way that reflects her spirit.

Thank you for being here, for supporting her work and for helping keep her legacy alive.
