Lisa Wee Eng Cheng

I'm free to collaborate!

Hello! I’m Lisa Wee Eng Cheng, a children’s illustrator passionate about celebrating diversity and creating a sense of belonging through vibrant, character-driven art. My process begins with careful observation and deep immersion - whether exploring communities, observing or studying the world around me - to ensure every detail resonates with authenticity. Through my illustrations, I aim to spark joy, empathy, and boundless imagination in young readers. With a focus on inclusivity and warmth, I bring stories to life that reveal the everyday magic and uniqueness of every child, making sure all little hearts feel seen, valued, and celebrated on every page.

Growing up and living in the vibrant, culturally rich environments of Penang, Singapore, and Kenya (and have travelled to many different places) has profoundly shaped my creative journey. Immersed in diverse traditions and experiences, I draw inspiration from the colors, textures, and stories around me, blending heritage elements with contemporary design to create illustrations that are both visually captivating and emotionally resonant. Whether sketching in a bustling café or finding inspiration in the quiet of nature, every piece I create reflects my deep connection to the world and the stories it holds, inviting viewers - especially children - into worlds that feel both authentic and magical.

Beyond my illustrations, I find joy in giving back - whether it’s rolling up my sleeves for beach clean-ups to transform sandy shores into welcoming spaces for all, or collaborating on meaningful projects. Working with celebrity Chef Kristen Kish and author Dr. Thomisia Booker on a guided culinary journal for kids, which celebrates self-expression and LGBTQ+ communities, has enriched my artistic journey. Through my work, I hope to inspire young minds, reassure my grandparents that following my dreams is worthwhile, and create imaginative worlds that make both children and myself braver and happier.
