Claire Zhang (she/her)
Hello! I'm Claire Zhang, an illustrator from China. My work primarily revolves around vibrant colors and adorable little animals. Risograph and screen-printing techniques, known for their unique texture and color overlay effects, have significantly influenced many of my creations. Aiming to share messages of love, kindness, and self-acceptance, I am passionate about crafting heartwarming picture book stories that touch the hearts of children and adults alike. During my time at the Cambridge School of Art, a period marked by extensive exploration and growth, I experimented with various mediums and delved into the professional world of picture book creation. This experience provided me with valuable insights and skills that continue to shape my work today.
