Describe your approach to teaching
In my workshop, I introduce the history, philosophy, materials, and traditional techniques of Chinese brush painting. I provide demonstrations on selected themes and step-by-step guides to help you create a finished painting to take home. My goal is to preserve this wonderful art form by sharing my passion and demystifying the techniques.

What inspires your own work?
My work, inspired by flowers and birds, captures their essence through delicate brushstrokes. Trained in the "Shanghai school" style, known as “hǎi pài," I express their grace, symbolism, and balance.
