Joey Liu is an illustrator from Shanghai, China. Her work is drawn to quiet, often overlooked moments in daily life, especially those connected to the senses or carrying a soft vitality. She finds inspiration in nature and ordinary scenes, gathering colour palettes and playful marks, and exploring how textures hold subtle rhythms and internal emotions.

Studying in Cambridge has been a quiet turning point in her life. It has challenged her to tell simple yet meaningful stories, and helped her understand more clearly the way she sees the world. The image-making process feels like a journey, drifting between reality and dreams, observation and imagination.

She is looking forward to continuing to expand her visual language, exploring mixed media while remaining curious and open to the joy of mark-making. She hopes her illustrations bring a sense of calm and warmth, inviting viewers to pause, take a deep breath, and linger for a while in these in-between spaces.
