I received my undergraduate degree from the School of Art and Design at Beijing University of Technology, followed by graduate studies at the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne. I later pursued further training in oil painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

I run a small art studio my home, where I teach students of all ages. Between caring for my five chickens, eleven quails, six guinea pigs, and three children, life gets busy—so busy that I sometimes forget that I am still, at heart, the child who loves to draw.

I enjoy working with a wide range of materials: watercolor, acrylic, soft pastel, and oil painting. Each medium holds its own charm, and I find joy in exploring them all.

Though my focus has primarily been on teaching and family in recent years, my commitment to personal artistic growth remains constant. I am now seeking to expand my practice through connection with the broader artistic community, and I look forward to the opportunities for exchange and development that membership would offer..
