說故事的人

喜歡文字與繪畫、喜歡旅行及探索新事物的女孩,從小在藝文環境中成長。大學就讀護理系,畢業後曾在台大醫院工作。因著對國外生活的嚮往,自醫院辭職後,前往英國就讀創意藝術大學(UCA)碩士先修班(GDAD),並於2018年取得同校插畫碩士學位(MA Illustration)。
走過人生低谷、回歸自幼成長的藝文環境,Joyce在異鄉學會獨立,也找回自信和快樂,更找到人生的方向。YUEHtopia 是以自己的中文名字「悅(YUEH)」結合烏托邦(Utopia)的概念而成。祈願能以圖與文,構築平和美好卻又多彩的一方天地,並以自身插畫專業,成為他人的幫助。
Joyce以生命關懷為出發點,創作出充滿溫度的故事、繪本等作品。YUEHtopia 販售之各樣周邊商品,多以暖心、輕鬆愉快的風格為主。期待可愛的文具禮品,能伴隨人們左右,帶來如微光般的正能量。
自2019年開始,Joyce受邀舉辦英國留學、生涯教育等相關講座,與台灣各地的青年學子分享追夢女孩的故事。當腳步逐漸踏實,Joyce期許自己能成為陪伴他人的人,一起走一段人生路。2021年起,Joyce成為畫畫老師,在機構和社區樂齡學習中心,帶領孩子與長輩們體驗藝術的樂趣。引導學生們發揮創意、記錄自己的故事,並學習忠於自己。
2022年,Joyce結合經驗及專業,開始籌辦「畫話好朋友」系列活動。透過有趣的活動設計,提供喜愛繪畫的好朋友們,一個交流與分享的平台。期盼藉由活動,傳遞「生活美學」的概念。
Joyce graduated with a Master’s Degree in Illustration from University for the Creative Arts (UCA) in the UK in 2018. Now working as an art teacher and freelance illustrator in her hometown, Taiwan.
Joyce is a girl who loves travelling, reading, writing and drawing. With the experience of passing through the ups and downs in life, Joyce’s works express the meaning of life. She hopes to create her own world with words and colours and try to brighten up people’s days with her small creations.
Since 2019, Joyce was invited to schools to share her story with students and young adults. She would like to encourage people to follow their hearts and fulfil their dreams.
Starting in 2021, Joyce began a new journey as an art teacher. She enjoys sharing the fun of art with children and the elderly. Meanwhile, she teaches them how to be creative, record their life stories through art, and be true to themselves.
