Artwork Description

Artist Information

The purpose of my painting is to evoke viewer's emotion.

In a simple sense my paintings are realist scenes. Yet to me they are attempts to understanding the links between my sense of visual harmony and my emotional response,

I search and experiment using contrast on many levels to create the drama and energy of each piece, so that the work speaks for itself.

Whether is Searching for an evocative landscape or carefully posing objects in a still life,

In the process of painting and creating the illusion of space, I pursue these moment when my aesthetic sense and reality, for an instants, collide.

I believe that Painting is at its best when functioning without verbal support.

Raised in Shanghai, China. I always love to draw things when I was a little boy and wanted to become an artist when grow up. I  attended college after high school study painting and drawing. After graduate with a BFA degress in painting, I taught in the college for three years. I came to the United States in 1989 to attend graduate school at Mankato State University in Minnesota. After graduate from the MSU with a MA degress in painting, I moved to New York to pursue my artist dream and worked as a textile designer at the same time. Now  live in Norcross, GA, I paint full time and show my works all around the states.
