Sahily Anais
Printmaker | lllustrator | Creative Person
Hi! I’m Sahily, a Cuban-American printmaker + illustrator in Seattle, Washington.
My work draws inspiration from my colorful Caribbean roots, nature, pop culture, and the everyday.
My artistic process lives in the intersection between the analog and digital worlds. I merge my background in photography and fine art with digital illustration and multi-media printmaking. When creating prints, I generally start by taking photos of my subjects, then digitally illustrate them and carve them into printing blocks. I also experiment with various pigments as I press each print. While I focus on relief printing, I also enjoy riso and screen printing.
My mission in all my creations is to bring viewers both visual and emotional joy through bold colors and whimsy as a form of escapism.
Mini print vending machines
Mini prints make the joys of art accessible to all! My mini print vending machines are where pint-sized art meets the nostalgic euphoria of getting a surprise from a vending machine. Just like the good old days at the roller rink and arcade!
My squad of mini print vending machines includes 4 machines, from my Seattle-based Art Bodeguita to the Lake Worth Beach themed machine on the shores of South Florida. Each machine has a unique theme and is stocked with either digitally illustrated or hand-printed linocut prints. All cutesy and collectible!
And the fun doesn’t stop there — you can even rent a machine for your next special event or party, with the option to have me create special designs just for your event!

Exploration of Nostalgia
My latest prints are inspired by nostalgia. That warm feeling in your soul makes you smile brightly when you remember moments of the past. For me, it’s the 90s. The days of Carson Daily hosting TRL on MTV, being a rink rat, and taking care of my digital pet while munching on snacks.
