Tang Wei was surrounded by her seamstress mother’s material, buttons, zippers, patterns and thread while growing up. They’ve stayed with her and Tang’s unique illustrations are inspired by Chinese, Nepalese and Indian embroidery, alongside artists such as Shaun Tan and the great Eric Carle. She knows the children’s book industry inside out as well, and launched her career working for a publisher over a decade ago after studying animation at Sichuan Xihua University.

Approach

Starting with a pencil drawing, Tang will add acrylic paint or watercolour. Collage is a favourite technique and she may add cut-out pictures to her work, along with special papers, lace, felt and even bits of clay.

Style

Tang Wei’s mixed media approach is combined with a willingness to experiment with layouts, composition and content. This gives many of her pieces a touch of the unexpected. Her style is highly personal, and she is always willing to adapt to her client’s vision to ensure each project is entirely unique.
