Through simple, dynamic, and sensuous ink-wash brush strokes, my art integrates gesture, allegory, and emotion to interpret the vitality of life. Driven by innate resonance and 3 decades of Chinese Brush Painting mastery, my multicultural experience inspires new approaches to classical themes. Specializing in spontaneous Xiěyì 寫意 style, I express spirit and substance through harmony in duality.
