artist statement
I am constantly learning and experimenting with new forms of art. Although origami has been my main focus, watercolor painting has become an interest of mine as I try to connect with my heritage through Chinese watercolor and calligraphy.
My art emphasizes the value of creativity and process. I am always seeing what I can and can’t do and further pushing these boundaries. I enjoy problem-solving as I try to create things that are unique or different. While this means spending a lot of time troubleshooting, it also means having a sense of accomplishment in the end result.
