***MEET THE ARTIST***

2019 FLORENCE BIENNALE:

18 – 27 OCTOBER

FORTEZZA DA BASSO, FLORENCE, ITALY

Her works emphasize the predominance of personal memories over race, origin and heritage as a foundation of identity in the 21st century. She creates paintings that reflect her return after 16 years in the United States back to her birthplace of Hong Kong. She transforms Chinese calligraphy and ink painting into contemporary art. 

Her artworks were selected by the curator, and documented at the Netherlands Institute for Art History (Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie)- one of the largest art history centers in the world (2006). Her art project received endorsement from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (2007). She also received letters of encouragement from President Barack Obama, the First Lady Michelle Obama for her letters, poem and artwork as an independent Chinese-American artist (2009). Her artworks were auctioned in an Official Fundraiser in support of President Barack Obama's re-election (2012). Her works can be found in private collections throughout Europe and the United States.
