As an abstract painter rooted in Philadelphia, I bring a wealth of education and experience to my craft. My love for art began at a young age and flourished as I pursued formal education, earning dual BFA degrees from Jilin University in China and West Chester University of Pennsylvania.

My career includes serving as a senior graphic designer and brand manager at 4A advertising agencies and tech giants in China, where I honed my skills in creating imagery, characters, and advertisement scripts using digital tools. Despite this, I always felt drawn to the traditional art of painting. This passion led me to further my education in the field and study painting in the US, where I am now focused on developing my abstract style, infused with my personal experiences and unique perspective.

I am a member of the Muse Gallery in Philadelphia and recently completed a one-year artist residency at the Delaware Contemporary Museum in 2024.

ART STATEMENT:

My paintings explore the presence of the immediate moment through layered color, movement, and gesture. Working with handmade high-fluid acrylics on raw canvas, I allow pigments to soak, drift, and interact freely, embracing unpredictability as an essential part of the process. These fluid color fields unfold as living environments—spaces where perception slows and time softens, allowing each moment to be experienced rather than simply passing by.

Within these open, spontaneous backgrounds, I introduce highly controlled lines that bring structure and focus to the composition. These precise marks act as points of clarity, almost as if they are freezing time within the flow of color. In contrast, the surrounding fields remain fluid and unpredictable, shaped by chance and intuition. The relationship between control and release creates a visual language where stillness and movement coexist. Through this balance, each painting becomes a record of a lived moment—holding energy, awareness, and presence within a suspended, expanding field of time.
