Watercolor has always called out to me for its free spirit, its fluidity, and its ablility to be expressed in a manner that resembles Chinese calligraphy.

Both the Eastern and Western worlds are my inspirations. I like to wander in Seattle’s Pike Place Market and the little towns out on the Pacific Ocean shore. I also deeply enjoy breathing in life from Beijing’s characteristically narrow streets and alleyways. They all become the subjects of many of my paintings.

I hope you can see the influence of both the Eastern and the Western aesthetic in my work. The experience of painting watercolor is awe-inspiring and rewarding. I’m glad I’ve lived it, and I’m thankful for the technology that lets me share my art with you.

Thank you for visiting.
