I am Dina Lydia of Seattle, Washington.

My art education began at Maryland Institute of Art in Baltimore.

Since the 70s, I've been doing creative work as a freelance illustrator, graphic designer, portrait artist, and caricature artist.

Since 1999, I've turned to computer graphics, web design, and self-publishing. I enjoy doing my own digital photography, creative image editing, and photo retouching.

I'm also known as a costume designer, occasional bellydancer, political activist, and author of a book series: The Costume Goddess Tells All.
