Hi, I’m Stephany (:
Stephany Lai is a self-taught Taiwanese American illustrator and the artist behind Laiberry Art. As a kid of the 90s, she grew up loving Saturday morning cartoons, Sanrio, and running down the snack aisles at 99 Ranch. Despite following her parents’ wishes and pursuing a career in STEM, Stephany yearned for a way to make art a more permanent and stable part of her life.
In 2021, she launched Laiberry Art as a way to share her art with the world. What first started as an Instagram account to post artwork evolved into an online shop, in-person pop-ups, and even a children’s book featuring illustrations of all the Taiwanese food she grew up obsessed with.
She loves using art to connect with others, whether it's a love of the same fandoms, a passion for Taiwanese food, or commiserating over the day-to-day challenges of life.
