About the Artist

“beauty should be experienced at every possible moment...”I am a contemporary, Asian-inspired abstract artist living in Austin, Texas. After a span of crippling anxiety, I left nursing to pursue art. Being shaken from the loss of control, I sought a measure of it in painting.These concepts are what influences my artist expression. Carrying my Asian heritage to the canvas as the subject, I deviate from the traditional calligraphy lines with my own signature painting style. Even though I diverged from the stereotypical life path, I still try to honor where I came from, using art as a way to blend my American upbringing with my Asian heritage. With my East meets West painting style, I give homage to the place I’ve been able to flourish.Artist StatementI draw inspiration from the perfectly symmetrical asymmetry in life and the world around me. It’s one of the reasons why I embrace the freedom of the abstract realm. There is the freedom in it that allows for spontaneity and mistakes.Drawn to the tactile nature of texture, I use bold applications of modeling paste and mixed media to add dimension to my pieces. This is then balanced with subtle, neutral colors and eye-catching metallic foils to seamlessly blend into multiple decor aesthetics.Above all, I am an avid believer that beauty should be experienced at every possible moment, whether that is found in the perfect latte, a breathtaking view, or a stolen kiss. I strive to create art that communicates that belief, one that does not shock and awe, but gives the viewer a muted joy, peace and contentment that can be experienced everyday.

Kintsugi II

Spring Bluebonnets

18x38ORIGINAL AVAILABLE$800Acrylic, Acrylic wash, Glimmer Mist, Mixed MediaOne of my first memories of Texas was when we made the drive to Muleshoe Bend to see the bluebonnets. It was not a bright blue sky day, but one that was opaquely overcast, one of those days where it hadn't yet decided if it was in the mood to send down a drizzle. One that was the absolutely perfect backdrop to highlight the vibrance of the Texas Bluebonnets. Dignified blue with smart white and green caps, along with the ambiance, radiated serenity and contentedness. After looking at this painting, I hope you can take some of it with you.

It invites viewers to contemplate the transient beauty of life and the profound emotional depth that can be found in fleeting moments.The fusion of Asian inspiration in this artwork is evident not only in the choice of subject matter but also in the execution.
