Shirley Ng-Benitez

Shirley Ng-Benitez is an illustrator and author whose creative journey includes graphic design and hand-lettering. A love for all things handmade, she’s continually experimenting with traditional mediums including watercolor, gouache, pen & ink and pencils, and more recently, painted and cut-paper collage. Her work draws from a deep wish to add a little more compassion and connection to others through her art and stories for all. She’s a Bay Area, California native living with her family and two black cats, and is thrilled to be working on her debut picture book, coming Fall 2024.

Open to picture book, b&w/interior, cover, and graphic novel illustration work.
