SEP 2004

A 21-year-old artist, borned in Xi’an, China; located at Rochester, NY now.

The goal is to use the brush to transfer power, focusing on personal growth and the impact of mult-media art on the world. I hope to use my works to call people's attention to social issues, including the status of women, autism, and children's education. Pay attention to the spread of East Asian culture and hope that East Asian culture will become part of the world stage.
