About the Exhibition
Little’s Painting Diary is a vibrant celebration of her unique culinary journey, filled with everything from the nostalgic, mouthwatering Taiwanese street eats she enjoys in her daily life to the adorable desserts she relishes during weekend indulgences and the grand banquet dishes at year-end parties.
Rendered in bold, expressive watercolors, her sketches capture not just the colors and textures of each dish, but the very essence of the experience. It’s almost as if you can taste the flavors, feel the emotions, and sense the warmth of the hand-drawn brushstrokes. This exhibition features a carefully curated selection from her food diaries and the watercolor masterpieces she crafts on a daily basis. Through her art, Little weaves a tale of deep affection for food—each meal a personal story, a quiet reflection on life, and a bold, creative take on the beauty in the everyday.
Creative Concept
Flipping through Little’s pages for the first time might leave you thinking, “Is this a secret menu at a hidden gem?”
An office worker by day, Little started by casually recording the flavors she discovered after work, moments of pure delight for the taste buds. What began as a simple hobby slowly grew into something more, evolving into one perfectly crafted journal after another. These watercolors and ink sketches are not just food. They’re fond memories, preserved, savory, and unforgettable.
About the Artist – Little Su
A native of Banqiao, Little’s creative journey began in the Department of Chinese Literature at Soochow University, where she fell in love with writing and comics.

Her work quickly caught attention, earning a feature from Yahoo×Tumblr and an invitation to exhibit at the Creative Expo Taiwan. There, she showcased her iconic Taiwanese street food watercolor series, and her talent was further recognized when she was selected as one of the “Taiwan Talent 100” emerging illustrators.
