Artist Statement Biography
I draw inspiration from the pastoral memories of my childhood in Northern China. Birds and horses become poetic symbols inviting the viewer into a spiritual realm. Within this world I created, poetry becomes the vessel where imagery and text transmute. The allegorical references also play a vital role in this realm, as the narratives of redemption and rebirth mirror my request to navigate conflicting identities. My portrayal of this world is filled with poetic symbols and stories and becomes the fertile soil on which my growth, loss, and quest for belonging.
