Jia Liu explores illustration as a powerful tool for storytelling. Like many illustrators, she has wrestled with the tension between the graphic precision of digital tools and the tactile unpredictability of traditional media. Her true spark comes from seeing images break free of the flat surface into animation and dimensional space. In this session, she shares how she uses story as a foundation to push her work beyond the static page, spanning a variety of outcomes from children’s illustrations and editorial projects to public art and 3D installations.
