Simone Zhang
Hello, I am an illustrator creating illustrations, children’s picture books and short comics. I love exploring a range of materials on paper, including colour pencils, pastels, acrylic and collage.
My work usually begins with observing and documenting everyday life. I love to, and I can always find new insights from the subjects we may know well already. I hope you can share my sense of celebrating the subtle details of the mundane and get closer to our surroundings and the natural world when viewing my work.

Alina and the Gorgeous Daisy
This is a story about a young girl, Alina. She finds herself bored due to the repetitive and mundane routine of the small town in which she lives. One day, Alina discovers a handmade daisy and goes in search of the maker, noticing on the way that everyone was making something extraordinary. Her curiosity about the flower led her to a fuller understand of the towns people and discover what marvels are hidden in everyday life.
Waiting to be Occupied
This is my observation of the art school building and the return to school life. As we are coming out of the lockdown, a lot has changed. I feel that the building is waiting for us, waiting to be occupied by us, our artworks, creative activities, and conversations without any masks or social distance rules.
