Who am i I was born in a small city in Southern China. My father was an oil painting artist. I grew up with his paintings, artbooks and stories. He taught me how to draw and he told me that I was very talented. I dreamed of becoming an artist and traveling around the world ever since I was a little girl. |

In 1979, I immigrated to the USA from Hong Kong, and settled down in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2005, a great passion was ignited, I started to paint after away from art for more than20 years. My mediums are oil, pastel and charcoal. I paint portraits, figures, plein air landscapes and still-lifes. In every moment of everyday life, there is something that inspires me to paint.
