BYNBEARY was founded by Yanuary Irasema Navarro, a Honduran American illustrator, cartoonist, writer, and designer. She was born in a tiny village in Honduras, Central America and was raised by a tough and hard working 5' tall single mom in Florida. She studied at the Ringling College of Art and Design with a focus on storytelling, illustration, and design. As a Honduran immigrant it took many years for her to gain confidence in her language skills but felt right at home in the visual arts. One of her favorite aspects of visual art is that it transcends language to connect with people across the world. With her work she hopes to motivate a reverence for our planet, document miraculous and complex moments, and to provide a visually rich and vibrant world for readers to explore. 

Over the past decade she has worked with businesses and individuals as an independent artist and in-house designer to help their ideas come to life. She is happy to continue making art and stories for as long as she can.

As a visual artist she has exhibited in celebrated venues such as: The Ringling Museum of Art, SCOPE Miami, The Bakehouse Art Complex, Olio Gallery, C. Emerson Fine Arts, Even-N-Odd Gallery, The Sarasota Art Center and many more.
