Artist Statement
Bringing traditional Chinese calligraphy to the Austinites and beyond has always been my pursuit as I'm exploring the use of different media/materials/presentations to transform the traditional art in a way that is more accessible to the western audience. I invite audience from all different backgrounds to come join me in this journey, learn how to appreciate Chinese calligraphy and discover myriad possibilities the collision of east and west can bring.
