Artwork Description

When you feel pulled in different directions, look to the plum blossom, a symbol for resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.

Inspired by Xu Bing, the faux Chinese calligraphy was constructed from English letters, with each character forming the words “Choose your own path”.

This painting is a fusion of traditional Chinese influences with the contemporary trend of texture art, embodying the struggle of holding conflicting values, but also celebrating the synergy that can result from being open to embracing these differences and creating something new. I hope this painting inspires you to "Choose Your Own Path".

Artist Bio

I’ve been drawing on walls with a pencil stub since I was a tiny human being. Now, wielding a much more professional paintbrush, I create artworks that celebrate and explore the self.

My work is like me. A fusion of East and West, a mishmash of traditional mediums and experimental techniques, the synergy that comes from embracing perfect imperfection. It’s about celebrating strength and vulnerability, resilience and struggle, and freedom that comes from within. If this speaks to you, welcome!

I am a self-taught artist with no formal training but thanks to the wonderful community of collectors who have found me via social media, my art is now proudly part of private collections world-wide and I have been part of a couple exhibitions in Sydney.
