Creating art is my passion - my art is strongly influenced by my Chinese heritage. Each item is handmade with lots of care and attention to detail; each piece is a celebration of my culture, and sometimes a celebration of nature. My inspiration comes from the beauty and the spirit of my heritage. Thank you for visiting and I hope that what you see here touches your heart as much as it touched mine.
