【繪者】泰林·奈特（Taryn Knight）
泰林是一位深受喜愛的兒童文學插畫家，在 Instagram 上擁有超過 36 萬名粉絲追蹤。她的職涯始於數位設計師，在體驗過數位繪圖後，最終選擇回歸紙筆與顏料的溫潤質感。2020 年，她以《Embassy of the Dead》一書正式在童書插畫界出道，同時經營個人線上選物店。泰林的創作靈感源自大自然與生活中單純的微小美好，作品充滿野性活力與童年的自由氣息。她目前在美國科羅拉多州風起雲湧的大草原家中工作，專屬的小工作室書桌上，總是散落著顏料管、不合套的馬克杯、散步時撿回來的自然寶藏，以及喝到一半的冷掉紅茶。

Taryn Knight is an illustrator working in children's literature from her home in the windswept fields of Colorado with over 360k followers on Instagram.

Since then, she's made her children's book illustration debut in 2020 with Embassy of the Dead (Walker US) and manages an online shop. Taryn is inspired by nature and life's simple joys, aiming to create a sense of wildness and childish freedom. She works from her small studio at home, where her desk is littered with paint tubes, mismatched mugs, treasures collected on walks, and half-drunk cups of tea.
