I view my life as 'a design' which includes: my relationships, my experiences
and the art I create.
Depending upon the type of design work I am focusing on, I may be involved
with: images, words, colors, papers, patterns, textures, even people and/or
natural materials or other digitalized elements which I synthesize into new
creations.
- Paper arts, including book & journal making, are a major focus of my personal
artwork in which I have
been able to develop my collage and mixed media skills.
- Learning new ideas & skills, in the virtual and real-time classrooms,
tug at my creativity, tickle my inspiration and whisper to my soul.
- Browse through my children's book proposal
The Tooth Fairy Journal: The story behind your fallen teeth. Creating traditions and memories from everyday experiences.
- My personal love of silver, leads me to 'play' with combining natural
materials and metal to create gems & jewels.
- Living in China has taught me to be flexible and ready for change. I
maintain design studios in Beijing and the United States.
- I enjoy working in the digital realm manipulating imagery & words.
- I continue to hone my Mandarin language skills.
