“One of my biggest artist inspirations is Bob Ross (I grew up listening to his late-night TV broadcasts to help me fall asleep). I use his quote, “We don’t make mistakes. We have happy accidents” to continually guide optimism in my life and my artwork.  My pieces pay tribute to the playfulness of a simpler time and embrace the happy accidents that happened along the way. Many of these drawings were created from spurts in the moment during quarantine – a period when time, originally a luxury, became a good so surplus that it was foreign. Thus, 2020-2021 was when I learned to reflect on formerly subdued memories and embarked on a self-discovery journey about my 2nd generation Chinese American identity.” 

“If I imagine my life as a pond, my childhood memories are the sediments at the bottom: content in their places but often forgotten and pushed down by the harsh realities of our social and political environment. The events of the past 2 years were as if a tree fell in the pond, disturbing the sediment, causing it to swirl around and even cloud to the surface. My art is inspired by the contents within that cloud – long forgotten memories that were taken for granted. I think we can all relate to a feeling of disruption in our reality and experiencing the inertia that followed. Whether that inertia was a spontaneous creative spurt, a life-changing pivot, an addition to the family, or a loss, we were resilient and carried on because that is the only thing we can do.”

“Each piece brings a bit of playfulness, simplicity, and nostalgia: tokens that can still be ubiquitously found in the fast-paced and complex lives that we have today.”
