Hi there! I'm Liv Wan, originally from Taiwan but currently based in London, and my life's journey has taken me from the hustle and bustle of Shanghai to the genteel charm of Edinburgh. I'm an illustrator, blending 'East meets West' in my style that's defined by an enchanting blend of UK training and kawaii inspiration from my home country. My love for food and my former life as a professional chef add a unique twist to my works that are always filled with color and charm – qualities my audiences adore. Apart from my delightful illustrations, I manage an online shop and trade at local events, hoping to tap into the international market soon!

Over the years, my work has been recognized by prestigious platforms such as the Hiii Illustration International Competition and 3x3 International Illustration Professional Show. Clients love to collaborate with me for my whimsical, attention-grabbing style, reliable professional approach, and exceptional storytelling abilities. Beyond just creating visually appealing characters, my expertise extends into culinary illustrations, thanks to my background as a chef. When I'm not drawing my vibrant illustrations, I make the most out of my experience in sales and marketing by promoting the books I've illustrated and understanding what truly engages our readers.

My love for drawing began as a young child but pursuing art was not widely encouraged in East Asia. This made me even more determined and, fueled by the advice from an observant school teacher, I perseveringly followed my passion to become a professional artist. Now, even my Sundays are workdays spent trading at markets, packing orders, or drawing new illustrations - work that never feels like a chore! My ultimate wish is to be remembered as someone who infused vibrancy and happiness into people's lives through my art. As for my personal world, it swirls around a delightful 13-year-old daughter, and our adorable feline companion, Tiny - both endless sources of joy and inspiration.
