I was born in Guangzhou China and came to the US when I was 15. I'm currently living in Pacifica, a small coastal town a few miles south of San Francisco.

With a degree in illustration from San Jose State University, I have been working as a graphic designer and fine artist the last decade. Recently I started to paint fulltime.

I like to create paintings that reflect on stillness, solitude, and mystery.

I believe in using simple, quiet scenes and objects to communicate deep emotion and relevance.

In my paintings you can find traces of 17th Dutch genre paintings, as well as 19th and 20th century American realist such as John Singer Sargent and Andrew Wyeth. In addition, I'm influenced by modern and documentary photographers like Walker Evan and Sally Mann.
