Hey there! I'm Sian James, a vibrant illustrator originally from Hong Kong and currently based in Strasbourg, France. My art is a blend of colorful, whimsical designs created digitally or on paper. With a background in archaeological research, I infuse my illustrations with depth and intricate details, adding a touch of wonder to each piece. Outside of art, you'll find me baking, gardening, diving into books, and occasionally immersing myself in video games. As a Christian, I see art as a celebration of the beauty found in God's creation.

I take great pride in my collaborations with Harvest House Publishers on projects like The Good News of Christmas and The Good News of Easter. Known for my punctuality, strong communication skills, and dedication, I bring life to stories through engaging and colorful artwork. Clients appreciate my ability to capture character expressions with finesse. Transitioning from an early medieval archaeologist to an illustrator, my process often starts with rough sketches that help me translate abstract ideas into visual masterpieces.

Growing up immersed in illustrations, I now have the privilege of inspiring today's children with my own creations. Museums fuel my creative spirit, offering a well of inspiration when I hit roadblocks. Beyond my artistic pursuits, I aspire to be remembered as a gentle and kind individual. Balancing motherhood with the company of my two feline companions, Miso and Mochi, I find joy in creating art that sparks curiosity and wonder in the hearts of all who encounter it.
