My name is Yan Jiang, and I am a Chinese Canadian
illustrator specializing in picture books and illustrations for
young adult literature. Currently working with Red Deer Press for picture book illustration, I have developed keen skills with storytelling using my own voice even further! I found myself in love with capturing emotions through textured brushstrokes, lighting, and color, bringing narratives to life. in a way that resonates with readers.

Beyond illustration, I am an avid reader of children’s books and literary works, constantly drawing inspiration from stories that evoke wonder and complex emotion. I have a deep appreciation for sentimentality and poetic visuals, yet I also enjoy diving into research, exploring new subjects that fuel my curiosity!
When I’m not drawing, you’ll find me playing with my dogs, Picasso and Coca-Cola! Nothing makes me happier than painting, listening to R&B music, and sipping on a good boba tea at the same time :)
