Welcome

Hello, I’m Moonlie.

Hi, I’m Moonlie — a children’s illustrator who blends naturalism with a touch of whimsy. I use animals and atmosphere to tell stories that feel both grounded and dreamlike. My pencil and ink studies teach me patience, discipline and the beauty of negative space; those marks and washes seep into my illustrations, adding quiet strength and texture.

Right now I’m living in Mechelen, Belgium. The cobbled streets, salty air and slow mornings with my baby girl have become part of my daily rhythm. I find inspiration in a warm cup of tea, the weight of a pencil in my hand and the love in everyday life. My Chinese Malaysian roots and years spent in London shape my love of food and culture, giving me a sense of home in every place.

I play with ink, pencil and watercolour until the picture breathes. Let’s make something meaningful together.
