The Echo of You, 2021
Mix media on canvas
30 x 60"

Artist Statement
This piece was created in 2021 with the intention of capturing the grandeur of ocean waves through dynamic techniques. Using my self-made high-fluid acrylics, I achieved spontaneous blending effects, allowing the pigments to form vivid, turbulent scenes that evoke the ocean's power and movement.

Artist Bio
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. It 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. 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.
