From the artist's statement: "As a first generation American, I have spent most of my time and energy understanding what it means to belong to a place where one doesn't have roots: a common anxiety that many may face, be they immigrants or not. As I honor certain aspects of my life as an Asian woman and as a child to immigrant parents, my conversations with my pieces evolve, and I grow through the relationships I have with myself and the world.
In my role as an artist, I highlight the beauty that already exists; beauty that often gets the least amount of representation. I paint people-people of color, women, students, workers-the pillars of society. I paint to represent my culture, my community, and to facilitate a conversation between piece and viewer. I hope my paintings evoke feelings of joy and wonder and that those feelings evolve into reflection and exploration. "
