Jiemei Lin
Jiemei Lin is an artist born in Hangzhou, China, currently living and working in the Inland Northwest, Washington State. Lin works with both digital media and traditional media to create paintings, murals, and illustrations. Her works frequently take on themes of individual and cultural identity with a particular emphasis on design and color. Lin’s mission as Illustrator is to represent and communicate with all audiences from underrepresented groups in her own visual language. As a public artist, Lin has been designing and executing large-scale public murals in both the pacific and inland Northwest. These murals function like vignettes or moments of stories, inviting the viewer into the scene in order to imagine possible narratives. Lin has extensive experience in the fields of design, and illustration and has also exhibited her own paintings and prints.
*Jiemei is represented by Jennifer Rofé at the Andrea Brown Literary Agency for children's illustration. She can be reached at jennifer AT andreabrownlit DOT com. Please reach out to Jennifer only for children’s literacy-related work.
