About Grace
邱惟(Grace Chiu),不安於室的插畫家,英國劍橋藝術學院 (Cambridge School of Art) 童書插畫碩士。喜歡聽故事、體驗新事物,和漫無目的地在城市裡散步。她最常取材於大自然,蒐集生活中的靈感,希望能創作出令人感到溫暖的作品。她的繪本《Kevin è Timido》曾入圍《小涼帽國際繪本獎》,並於義大利與西班牙出版。
Grace Chiu graduated with a masters in Children’s Book Illustration from the Cambridge School of Art. She enjoys listening to people’s stories, experiencing new things, and traveling alone. Her illustration inspirations typically come from her daily life, such as watching the quiet interactions of strangers in the park. She likes using mixed materials to work, such as colour pencils, watercolours, collages, and digital painiting. For Grace, making illustrations is a way to record her thoughts and share the unique perspectives of those she meets. She aims to create artwork that warms the heart whilst shining a light on topics we might encounter every day but often miss. Through her illustrations, she aims to show that we all have the potential to be understood.
