"I studied Chinese traditional ink and color-washed painting and painted for years in China before I came to the United States. In the United States, I studied Western painting. Through this experience, I learned to use color to enhance my painting. I found that acrylic paints are the best medium for me to combine both Eastern and Western painting techniques to achieve my own style. I am currently painting on canvas over gold or color ground.

  I have felt strongly about the beauty of water flowers for years. They are so pure, showing themselves in the best way to the world. I hope my paintings can bring feelings of calmness and peace to the viewer."
