Originally from northeastern China, her early memories of spending time in her grandfather’s rural village—where he farmed the land—sparked a deep, lasting bond with nature. As an interdisciplinary artist, she creates oil paintings, prints, and evolving ecosystem-based installations using handmade paper and pigments derived from plants. Rooted in Taoist and Buddhist philosophy and Jungian psychology, her work explores impermanence, origin, and spiritual transformation. One ongoing project centers on a self-sustaining aquarium inspired by the origins of life in water. Her intuitive, experimental process emphasizes slowness, bodily engagement, and collaboration with the unknown. She holds BFAs from the China Academy of Art (Traditional Chinese Painting) and the School of Visual Arts in New York (Fine Art).
