Born in China and raised in the United States. I draw on a practice deeply shaped by displacement, nostalgia, and the layered experience of belonging across geographies. Working primarily in oil painting, I explore the emotional tension between familiarity and distance, drawing from the places I have lived, traveled through, and remembered.

I am particularly drawn to environments that feel suspended in time—spaces that are recognizable yet strangely detached. Influenced by the atmospheric qualities of the Baroque style and its engagement with liminal spaces and the people interacting in everyday life, my work evokes nostalgia, eerie warmth, and subtle surrealism.

Through light, quiet architectural forms and ambiguous transitions between interior and exterior, I aim to create paintings that are emotionally resonant rather than literal. My work exists in the in-between: between cultures, between memory and reality, between comfort and unease. Within these spaces, I invite viewers to reflect on their own sense of home, impermanence, and emotional inheritance.
