Hello! Thank you for visiting my website.

I hope you enjoy the opportunity to explore art inspired by the dynamic energy and images of Shanghai.

I am a visual artist and my creative journey has been enriched by an exploration of architecture, urban landscapes and the intricate textures of nature. Relocating to Shanghai a few years ago has sparked my interest in urban landscapes.

The large, visually textured variances and rapid historical and social changes here have me considering how people navigate life in such a state of flux. My portfolio encompasses a diverse range of mediums, including printmaking, painting and drawing, each a conduit to capturing the essence of urban life and the mysteries of nature.

My artworks have found places in public art collections, including the Tacoma Art Museum, the New York Public Library, and The China National Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou, China. My pieces have been featured in exhibitions across the US, including at the International Print Center New York, the Print Center, Philadelphia, SAM Gallery at Seattle Art Museum, the Austin Museum of Art and the Maryhill Museum of Art.
