As a Chinese-born multimedia artist living in the UK for nearly six years, my work focuses on storytelling through illustration, drawing, and ceramic making. I explore themes of feelings, memories, and dreams, emphasising the transformative power of art in fostering emotional expression and nurturing connections. With over five years of freelance experience and active involvement in charitable and community initiatives in China and London, I have developed a diverse skill set that enriches my artistic practice. Currently, I am pursuing an MA in Art Psychotherapy at Goldsmiths University, where I aim to expand my professional skills and acquire further training in art psychotherapy.
