About Ziyue Chen

Raised on the sunny island of Singapore, Ziyue — pronounced zzz-yuair — also known as Angeline, lives with her husband, Zw, and their two beloved children. Art began as a form of escape from the struggles and confusion of growing up deaf, but it soon became her way of connecting with the world. Through it, she discovered the powerful, unspoken language between artwork and viewer. Her life goal is to create art that resonates emotionally with others. She enjoys visualising stories through illustration, especially through children’s books and illustrations inspired by her own life experiences.

Thank you!

Forever grateful to my Hubby for his unwavering faith in me, my Dad for his positive vibes, my late Mum -- an incredible role model of strength, my siblings for being so supportive, and to the Media Development Authority Scholarship program that made my overseas studies possible. A heartfelt shout-out to Mela Bolinao, my wonderful agent the past ten years.
