PeiHsin Cho
· /ˈpɛ ʃɪn ˌdʒɔ /
PeiHsin is a London-based visual storyteller from Taiwan, specializing in illustration and animation.
Her work revolves around the complexities of human emotions, exploring the depths of sentimentality across a wide range of subjects. Blending traditional and digital techniques, Pei weaves elaborate visual language and textures to transcribe the subtleties of human emotion into ethereal and atmospheric imagery.
𓍊𓋼𓍊 Unimportant note: Pei is a hopeless cat and tea addict and an amateur forager, these themes often sneak their way into her work. Keep an eye out for her wandering the woods or engaged in highspeed pursuits of stray cats.

生於台灣桃園，畢業於台北藝術大學動畫系，以及英國皇家藝術學院視覺傳達與插畫研究所。現居倫敦，以視覺創作者的身分持續創作，茶和貓咪是生活與靈感不可或缺的日常。
作品以敘事為基礎，圍繞情緒切入不同題材，透過細膩且隱晦的視覺語言包裹感性，溫柔而理性地描繪出情緒的質地，催化觀者內在的親密體驗與記憶碎片。其創作曾獲多項國際獎項肯定，並散見於各類雜誌、刊物及國際影展。
作品Crown Shyness (樹冠羞避)曾榮獲2020年桃園插畫金獎、2021年波隆納BCBF-SM插畫大獎，並於2022年由西班牙Grupo SM出版首本繪本El Pescador y Su Alma (漁夫與他的靈魂)。
