My paintings are my personal investigations into the interaction between Eastern and Western culture. They express how I see and feel about my subject; how I interpret both intuitively and spiritually by using visual language.

The scenery of B.C. Canada is a major theme in my paintings. The snow-capped mountains, expansive green forests, and clear blue skies have inspired me to create an observation of the harmony possible between man and nature. I combine the East and West through incorporation of materials, techniques, and concepts to create visual statements of the West Coast.

I adapt a variety of techniques and thoughts from the West but emphasize my oriental originality. I employ Chinese brushes, rice paper and ink, mixing with watercolour, gouache and acrylic to create the landscapes of North America in my own style.

Chinese ink, the essential material of Chinese brush painting, remains a dominant element in my work, but vibrant colours also play an important role. I blend the old and the new to forge a contrast between ink and colour, between the ancient traditions of Chinese painting and the rapidly changing world of Western art.

“Lifelike spirit” is the source of all great art. I exhibit this through focusing attention to the artistic forms, shapes, and vitality of the art. The purpose of my landscape paintings is not to explain the world, but rather to pursue a universal balance between nature and the artist. Art must be natural yet spontaneous.
