Jessie S. A'Bell, otherwise known as Naira, is a freelance illustrator from Melbourne, Australia.​ She has a love for all creatures and they're her favourite subject to paint.

 

When in-between professional jobs, she works part time doing personal commissions and streaming them on Discord. Most of her clients commission her for their personal animal characters, but she's happy to paint anything and often gets asked for pet portraits or for humanoid OCs.

 

She has been using the name "Naira" as an online alias since she was 14 years old, originally for privacy reasons that then grew over the years to be used more commonly as a pen name or nickname, some people even calling her Naira by name in person. She began adding "wolf" when she was frequently unable to simply use "Naira" as a username/login on most websites, as wolves are her favourite animal which she now also uses as a logo and character design in her branding. 

​

She has an amazing fiancé, Sebastian, who's an incredible concept artist working in the film industry, inspires her everyday, is charming, loving, funny and full of rage and combat. In the past, he could sometimes be heard in the background of her streams being an adorable nuisance.

They had a baby girl, Ilaria, in September 2024!

 

She also has a (female) cat named Ralph who could also frequently be heard in the background of her streams being an adorable nuisance.​

 

When not painting she can be found gaming, repeatedly watching the Alien movie franchise and admiring images of spiders.
