OVERVIEW

After immigrating to Canada, I began to research the relationship of First Nations Art and Mother Nature by frequently exploring wild fields and forests in North British Columbia as well as venturing in-depth across the Arctic Circle into North latitude 65∘ Yukon area. In the exhibition, my works including a special genre of artwork named OD (oil medium is painted on digital works) are to depict nature in the form of abstract and semi-figurative. I am profoundly pleased to share my adventures with those who work in art and enjoy art.
