Joanne Liu

Based in Hong Kong, Joanne Liu’s art is praised by critics for its bright, bold, and enchanting qualities, captivating audiences with its striking use of color, playful elements, and joyful spirit. A central theme in her work is perspective—she masterfully portrays different viewpoints that make her pieces visually dynamic and intellectually engaging.

Working with acrylic paint, stamping, textured techniques, and markers, Joannne brings to life stories that are sweet, uplifting, and infused with gentle humor. In My Museum, Joanne playfully weaves in subtle details and winks at the child reader, lightheartedly poking fun at the adults who take the artwork very seriously.

Joanne is also particularly proud of My Rainy Day, currently available only in Chinese, which she created in response to the Hong Kong protests, hoping the book would help readers feel less alone.

Her favorite things include: pizza, peanut butter, insects, clouds, sunsets, and stars—elements that beautifully reflect Joanne’s whimsical and joyful outlook on life.
