ABOUT VENCHO
Vencho Wang is an award-winning illustrator and children's book creator originally from China, now based in UK. She specialises in traditional watercolour, using its luminous colours and delicate interplay of light and shadow to bring stories to life. Her illustrations often draw on the beauty of the natural world, creating atmospheric imagery for children's stories inspired by landscapes, nature and the small wonders of everyday life.
Alongside her illustration practice, Vencho runs Vencho Art Studio, a London-based art studio dedicated to watercolour workshops. She also collaborates with local artists to organise creative workshops exploring Chinese art, painting and traditional crafts, bringing different artistic practices and cultural traditions together.
Vencho lives in Richmond with her family and her 20-year-old cat Bella. (Well done, Bella! Here’s to 30! 🐱)
