Yiting Lee
A nomad of the Earth, Yiting Lee is a Taiwanese author and illustrator who spent six years in the UK, where she graduated from MA Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art in 2012. Whimsical and unpredictable stories are at the heart of her picture books. Yiting is the author of What’s the Rush? (Princeton Architectural Press, 2022), An Ideal Zoo (Nan-I Publishing, 2018), Just Five More Minutes (Papa Culture Publishing, 2017), and Mr White (Hogs Back Books, 2013). She likes to keep her stories simple and her illustrations full, because she knows how much children are captured by the details.
She uses traditional media, such as watercolour, gouache, ink, colour pencils, and loves exploring new supports and techniques. She doesn’t like rules; the only rule she follows is to be “ruleless.” She dreams of going to space and adopting a pug (not at the same time).
