About me

I was born in China and had been studying and working there before moving to the United State in 2001. I received my master degree in fine art in Florida State University in the summer of 2005. Starting from 2006, I began to make painting my full time job and have been enjoying everyday's life of doing what I really love. Since then I have been selling my art works to hundreds of domestic and international art collectors. On October 2009, I moved from California to Toronto with my family and have been living in this city since then. For purchase info of my paintings, please visit my blog. I also teach private classes in my studio, please contact me if you are interested and you are in the local area.
