SHAO NI 倪 韶 (SHE-HER)
Shao is a Taiwanese visual storyteller specializing in narrative illustration and book design. She graduated from University of Brighton with an MA in Sequential Design/Illustration in 2023. Her debut picture book The Crow And The Cherry Blossom was published in 2020 with Hsin Yi Publications (Taiwan).
Shao is interested in exploring how to transform intangible emotional experiences and abstract concepts into atmospheric visual narratives. She enjoys combining traditional and digital techniques to create delicate and multilayered images.
When Shao is not creating art, she travels, meditates, reads, watches indie films, or strolls along the beach.
