Statement: As a visually curious child, growing up in the bustling cities of Hong Kong and New York, I found excitement everywhere. My work is a portal to how I process life and experience the world. It reflects my fascination with color, distortions, and altered landscapes, focusing on the small nuances that so often go unnoticed. I enjoy working in a myriad of mediums from oil and acrylic on canvas and paper, to printmaking, encaustics, and collage. I will happily paint on anything!
