I create stuff, mostly for kids. I'm inspired by aliens, robots, bunnies, cephalopods, and more.
I made art growing up in Venezuela, took studio classes as an undergraduate, and continued to find creative outlets while working at my first career in environmental law. I was lucky to do what I loved, protecting the oceans at the U.S. Department of Justice and the non-profit group Oceana. Now I am even luckier to paint, write, and draw for kids.
I was selected the 2013 New Voices Award Winner by Lee and Low Books and my debut picture book, A MORNING WITH GRANDPA, illustrated by Christina Forshay (Lee and Low Books 2016) is available now.
Juried exhibits include New Waves 2012 at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art and the Norfolk Academy Art Show (2010-16). My environmental infographics have been published on The Huffington Post, Oceana, and other publications.
I blog at Sylvia Liu Land and help run the kid lit resource website Kidlit411, named by Writer's Digest as one of the 101 Best Websites for Writers the past three years.
