I'm an independent, emerging artist based in Chicago, IL, working across oil paint, watercolor, drawing, and digital design.

My multicultural background provided a root for my art to take place, given that I could take it with me wherever I went. From Hong Kong to Dubai and now Chicago, my love for art is something that has stayed with me around the world.
