About Illustration Sessions with Trista

Trista Yen is an internationally recognized children’s book illustrator and creator of the beloved brand Miss Noproblem.

What Makes This Event Special?
Trista is not only a talented artist but also a qualified primary school teacher from Taiwan with a passion for helping young minds explore their creativity. Her workshops are perfect for kids who love to draw, dream, and tell stories. Designed for both younger children (aged 2.5-5) and older kids (aged 6 and up), each session will inspire your child to think outside the box, express themselves, and dive into the world of storytelling through art.

Learn the basics of illustration and sequential design from a professional artist.

Explore new ways to express themselves through drawing and visual storytelling.

Build confidence in their artistic abilities while developing their imagination.

Engage in a warm, friendly environment designed for creativity and exploration.
