Artwork Description

Magnolias are called Mulan (木兰) in China and it is this same spirit of courage, nobility, elegance, resilience, and generosity that I hope to capture and inspire through this painting.

Inspired by Xu Bing, the faux Chinese calligraphy was constructed from English letters, with each character forming the words “Seek the path that demands your whole being and stay the course”.

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.
