Prints will be available in August!

I can't believe my First-Ever Solo Exhibition is here! Back in 2021 when I quit my job to pursue Xin the artist, I could not have imagined curating an exhibition. The title of the show is "Happiness Lost and Found". Located in the elegant gallery of ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery. With 30 new works, I reflect on how happiness ebbs and flows through our lives at different stages.

I am honored and humbled to have my first solo exhibition with ArtsWest. I hope you find a moment of comfort and joy here! Come celebrate with me and enjoy a private tour of this innermost collection.

Artist Statement:
My works are a series of maps filled with pockets of love and loss in our lives. Happiness comes and goes during times of loss, grief, mental health struggles, and life transitions. Each piece and title recorded past thoughts and reflections. 

In the uncomfortable spaces, these repetitive marks represent growth (steps) and grief (tears).  Life is full of chapters closing, opening, and re-opening. We go through the white spaces of reflection and the dynamic path of the growing pains. With a variety of color, movement, and emotion I lay out our stories. But not everyone gets to hear these stories. I encourage viewers to step close and away from the works. From a distance the works almost become invisible. From afar, everyone’s life looks almost perfect. In reality, we are all struggling in silence. 

I want to create a comforting feeling that you are not alone. I hope that one day we will come out of the fog. We will love a little harder and feel the grief a little less. We will continue moving on to the next unwritten chapter in search of happiness.
