I’m Chieh-Yi Liao, an MA Illustration student at Nottingham Trent University. I am an illustrator specialising in children’s books. My MA project, Tasty Morning, is a picture book that follows a fox on a journey to gather natural ingredients – such as nuts, berries, and honey - for his homemade bread. Along the way, he visits the forest, the city, and a supermarket, only to realise how noisy, chaotic, and overly processed the modern world has become. The story gently encourages children to think about healthy eating and environmental awareness. I work in both traditional and digital mediums, and I’m also open to commercial illustration projects. My work is inspired by nature’s colours, quiet moments from daily life, and the charm of observational drawing - all the things that spark imagination and warmth. Currently, I’m looking to be represented by an agency. While I have a strong focus on children’s books, I’m also open to editorial and commercial illustration opportunities.
