Good show!

Many thanks to all who supported me and came to enjoy my first solo show at Inner Chapter book store. They kept my paintings on display for 2 months and I received a lot of very encouraging comments!  

Please check back for details on where I will be demonstrating traditional Chinese watercolor paintings or to see where my paintings will be hanging next.

Year of Tiger

This is my largest painting to date...it's very exciting!!!  In person it's so realistic, I have to admit, he's kind of scary and I think very hungry...FYI, I'll be demonstrating my painting skills again March 27th at Deng's Studio (670 South King Street, Seattle)...please come out to watch me along with other artists in action, from 2 pm - 5 pm

Prosperity

Long a symbol of abundance in China, these fish are often painted and offered at the start of the Lunar New Year to offer "Good Luck" to the recipient 

Wing Luke Museum

I'm delighted to announce that some of my paintings are now on display at the Wing Luke Museum in Seattle's International District during the month of March.  It's very exciting to get my art out in front of the public!  I hope you all have a chance to stop by and check it out.  

Fairy in the Moon

In ancient Chinese culture it was believed that a fairy lived in the moon.  Her presence was worshiped annually during August of the Lunar New Year.  Today, we still celebrate the tradition, gazing up at the beauty of the glowing full moon, sending prayers her way, then celebrating with "Moon Cake"...it's quite tasty!  

Tranquility

I stumbled upon the inspiration for this image at an outdoor cafe during one of those long, lazy days of summer.  The contrast of vibrant colors and calmness caught my eye immediately, so much so, that I had to cancel my afternoon plans and instead spend the time capturing the essence of this painting.  

Spring is near!

Seeing the sun poke through the clouds and buds showing on the trees, I was reminded that spring is just around the corner and scenes like these will be plentiful...looks like I'd better start carrying my brushes with me!
