I have been self-taught in painting and drawing for over ten years. This year, my practice has centred on life sketching as a primary way of observing the world and generating ideas for future work. Drawing directly from life enables close engagement with nature and everyday environments, a process I consider both essential and deeply rewarding.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I work mainly with water-based media, inspired by both traditional Chinese and Western painting traditions. Pen and wash is my preferred medium for its immediacy, efficiency, and expressive power. Through this approach, I seek to convey atmosphere, movement, and the quiet vitality of my subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
