How Does Your Identity Influence Your Work?

As a second-generation Chinese American artist, I have always wondered what it means to exist—in relationship to the self, to others, and to the spaces and communities that we claim and claim us. My watercolor paintings are my love letters to the stories that exist on the margins and the hyperlocal treasures around us, exploring the symbols of how the Asian diaspora shows love, gives comfort, and heals.
