Hi! I'm Arielle.

​​

I’m a Taiwanese-Australian illustrator living in Wuppertal, Germany. I started my illustration career in 2019, and now specialising in children’s picture books, as well as fine art creations.

 

My debut picture book Get Ready, Mama was released in April 2022, and following that I worked on two more children’s picture book with EK books, which are Anchored and Butterfly Girl. Anchored has been nominated for the CBCA 2024 Book of the Year Awards under the categories Picture Book and Early Childhood Book of the Year.

Small creatures...
Big worlds...

I have always loved imagining what the world might look like from the perspective of a tiny creature.​ A garden becomes a forest. A flower becomes a tree. A patch of grass becomes a whole world.

​

My paintings are little glimpses into these imagined places — where mice wander through tulips, chickens disappear among the leaves, and tiny characters find adventures in the ordinary world around them.

​

I love creating these gentle, whimsical worlds as an invitation to slow down, look a little closer, and imagine what might be happening just beneath our feet.

Reviews, Press & Media Mentions

“The illustrated amiable, anthropomorphic vessels and soft aquatic and primary-coloured water-based shades cleverly connect with both strength and tenderness.”
