into a scholarly family in eastern China,

this artist's exceptional talent was evident

from an early age, beginning with her imaginative

chalk drawings on the walls of her home.

Recognizing her potential, her parents enrolled

her in a professional art school at just five years old,

where painting became her primary means of

expressing her inner world. Through her art,

she discovered a profound sense of control and

joy, creating a universe uniquely her own.


She later earned a Master's degree in Illustration

from the Academy of Art University (AAU) in San Francisco,

where she refined her skills in color and mixed media,

developing distinctive textures in her work. Her art

often explores themes of human landscapes, intertwined

with Taoist philosophical concepts from the East. Through

her creations, she seeks to promote the Doctrine of the

Mean and highlight the rich cultural heritage of Eastern

ethnic costumes.


In the early stages of her career, she dedicated herself

to studying the traditional costumes of various Asian

ethnic groups, an endeavor that deeply influenced her

artistic vision. Currently, her work focuses more on

conveying cultural and philosophical ideas through

abstract concepts. Her series "Everyone" was featured

in the September 2024 issue of Fluid Gold Journal's

online art gallery, aiming to celebrate and promote

the ethnic cultures of East Asia.Born


During her graduate studies, she was selected for

the prestigious Spring Show three times, including

in 2022. Her talent has been widely recognized in the

industry, winning second place in Children's Illustration

in 2023 and first place in Book Cover Design in 2024.


She is now preparing to launch two personal projects:

the "Late-Night San Francisco Bus Series" and the

"Flower Series." Through these works, she hopes to

connect with viewers on a deeper level, encouraging

reflection on social issues and resonating with their life

experiences. Her art serves not only as a visual pleasure

but also as a unique language through which she communicates

with the world.
