My Artist Statement

"Art is like the plant, the plant grows from its seed'', when I found the seed within my heart, I have a strong urge to learn to draw and paint, In art , it is the only way to grow in strength, in solitude and joy.
I spend my childhood on a university campus, Tianjin, China. I was always playing with paper and chinese brush to write chinese calligraphy. Although I gratuated from a college and obtained a degree in Accounting, I love creating different art works back in china. In 1993, I got third place at the Tianjin tapestry contest. The first art book that I read is Vincent's letter to his brother Theo, His painting holds tremendous power that make me cry. He had a deep love of nature, He sacrificed all personal desires and realized great things." Love art is not exact , one must call it faith -- a faith that maketh martyrs."
In 2000, I make a decision to become a painter, I asked the Heavenly Father to give me the spirit of wisdom to conceive beauty , to understand life and to express this life. In my art world, the best rule is no rule, Music and flowers teach me notes of color, setting them in motion ,Nature teaches me beauty of balance and harmony, Wassily Kandinsky , Arthur Wesley Dow, and Shitao's books give me the knowledge of the concept of abstract art. Meditation helps me to see the meaning of color and form in life , Kandinsky said, " Color is a power which directly influence the soul...."  I want to express my soul as musical sounds interpreted on canvas.

This painting was created with twelve yellowe  roses.
With azure and white , I paint the  skies...
With yellow roses spread in the air ,
This is that happy and sweet moment
Let us keepsake in our life forever.

These painting was transformed from the sweet Spring style wedding bouquet.
In the poem said" The field breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet, Young lovers meet,.........In every street  street these tunes our ears do greet, Cuokoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo! Spring! the sweet  Spring!
