Anson Liaw is an illustrator and fine artist who enjoys creating work that takes on critical views; both light and heavy about life in the world around us and that deals with social, political, cultural issues, and lifestyle subject matter. He enjoys combining various everyday life objects, scenes, and situations from life, memory, and imagination, and then combines and fuses them together to manufacture new and unexpected yet familiar meaning that ignites a spark to drive discussion and encourages people to be engaged to see, appreciate and learn something new every day about the world around them. Anson shares his love and passion for the communication and design arts by teaching at OCAD University and Virtute Innovation Academy in Canada.
