Drawing is my meditation connecting to the universe. Through drawing, I create colorful creatures and visions. I love to see my drawing becomes the new design and art patch for my artisan bags.
Come say hello to my colorful creature!

It was a great experience to work on public art for Sing For Hope in NYC. In the last few months, I was painting my design on a piano. The artwork highlights the sensibility of New York’s cityscape. The design paints the abstractions of urban space, woven with color and light, as inspired by common architectural elements in the city like arches, windows, and fire escapes. These elements invite viewers to imagine a better future by engaging our sensibility and emotion in the open. When the painted piano placed in a school or a healthcare facility, I hope my artwork can connect different human experiences with harmony and hope. I believe color has healing power, and I hope my artwork will also bring comfort to those using the healthcare setting.
I am sharing news about the ongoing exhibition “Concrete & Adrift: On the Poverty Line” at the Alexandria Museum of Art. The exhibition calls our attention to the issue of homelessness. I am honored to be part of the exhibition. Through the cardboard artwork “Home, Not Home #3″, I express the hope and strength of those who live on the street. From creating the installation of Urban Cage to mixed media Home, Not Home series, I create work that aims to capture our vulnerability in identity, living in oppressive urban spaces.
Location: Alexandria Museum of Art, 933 2nd St, Alexandria, LA.
Date: March 1 – June 22, 2019.

I haven’t stretched my own canvas for several years since I started creating my art with recycled cardboard. But today I picked up this beautiful organic cotton canvas and made two stretched canvas for my next paintings. These canvas came from organic cotton farming techniques which improve the soil, water and air. I continue to create art that reminds us to love our home the Earth.
