Animation Director, Illustrator, and avid GIF creator Sharon Liu specialises in handcrafted techniques, including traditional and digitally hand-drawn oil paint, watercolour, charcoal, and mixed-media animation. With a soft and gentle hand-made approach to her work, Sharon manages to bring to life a delicate yet bold style, while her organic techniques always trigger an emotional connection to each of her intricately crafted pieces. 

She loves to explore and experiment with various visual styles and colour palettes and is fond of bringing to life her GIFs, where there is excitement in conveying a message in just a few brief moments. Her short films have won awards at national and international festivals, including Annecy, Hiroshima, Leipzig International Film Festival and London International Animation Festival, to critical acclaim. ‘Ash to Art’  was finalised at Cannes Lions (Film Craft category) and won Silver at the Creativepool Annual Awards. 

Sharon loves to craft and build on scripts with an underlying positive tone and project forward-thinking messages. She also has an undying love for our four-legged feline friends, cats.
