Hello

I am an immigrant and Chinese American artist living in Seattle. I make art, grow plants, and balance spreadsheets. I feel determined to live creatively using art to express my story and appreciation for what I find beautiful. I value nature, authenticity, supporting my people, attention to detail, curiosity, and resourcefulness.

Besides creating at my studio, I am exploring interactions with the art community through exhibits, festivals, public art,  and ecommerce.
