In this workshop, I provided easels and canvases for the participants, but everyone was required to bring their own acrylic paints. I discovered that people’s preferences for colour sets vary significantly. Some choices are based on personal experiences, while others are influenced by past instructors. We had a lively discussion…
Stone, Water, Breeze is an ongoing body of work that brings together the West Coast environment, Eastern printmaking aesthetic inspirations, and the layered experience of living between two cultures. Rather than a fixed horizon, the paintings move through scattered perspectives and fragmented memory — organizing space the way the mind…
The workshop preparation took longer than I expected, but it was a rewarding experience. Finding materials locally really helped streamline the process. I used 1/4” birch plywood sheets for easier carving, instead of maple. The carving knives I found came from different stores, so their quality varies—it’s all part of…
Research for the project “Innovating Chinese Printmaking: Contemporary Praxis” March 2026 A studio research project exploring contemporary approaches to water-based Chinese woodblock printmaking through material experimentation and West Coast landscape imagery. Project Context I am honoured to have received a Canada Council for the Arts Project Grant (Research and Creation)…
After a year devoted to abstraction, a quiet dissatisfaction drew me back toward the figurative — a renewed attentiveness to form, place, and the visible world. Through a series of small studies, I began negotiating the boundary between sensation and representation, ultimately arriving at a new body of semi-abstract work.…
This series reflects on the fragile structure of presence. Fragmented forms of nature drift through layered pigments, each image unfolding as a quiet contemplation of change. The landscapes move through transformation and migration, tracing passages across places, memories, and inner states. Within these shifting fragments, perception finds rhythm in uncertainty.…

In my ongoing series of prints and print-based mixed media works titled “The Other Shore,” I explore seascapes and the natural formations found along the breathtaking West Coast. This artistic journey comes to life through the intriguing and tactile process of collagraph printmaking, allowing me to capture the essence of the textures…
This body of work is an extension of my exploration of the “meaning” and “appearance” of landscapes during my graduate studies. The central theme of this series is clouds, which frequently appear in traditional paintings and literature as symbols of transformation and fluidity. These works reflect my thoughts on “change” and “continuity”…
