Picturebook Maker and Illustrator

廖書荻(Shu-ti Liao)是一位插畫家與圖像敘事創作者,畢業於英國劍橋藝術學院(Cambridge School of Art)童書插畫碩士。她的創作橫跨繪本、插畫與展覽,作品曾獲得 Macmillan Prize for Illustration 首獎,並入選義大利波隆那童書展台灣館與台灣文化部中小學精選之星計畫。

她擅長以圖像捕捉日常中微小卻真實的情緒與瞬間,將觀察轉化為故事,再轉化為畫面。無論是繪本創作,或以對話為起點的插畫作品,她的創作始終圍繞著「故事如何被看見、被留下」。

現居台灣,持續從事創作、出版與跨領域合作。

Shu-ti Liao is an illustrator and visual storyteller based in Taiwan. She holds an MA in Children’s Book Illustration from the Cambridge School of Art, UK. Her work spans picture books, illustration, and exhibitions, and has been recognized internationally, including the First Prize of the Macmillan Prize for Illustration, selections by the Bologna Children’s Book Fair Taiwan Pavilion, and selections by the Ministry of Culture, Taiwan.

Through her drawings, Shu-ti explores small moments and quiet emotions found in everyday life. She transforms observation into narrative, and narrative into images—creating works that are gentle, reflective, and deeply human.

She continues to create, publish, and collaborate across disciplines, focusing on how stories can be seen, remembered, and shared.
