Your teacher
My journey with Chinese Gongbi painting began in my childhood, growing up surrounded by traditional art, stories, and the quiet beauty of nature. But the true turning point came in early 2023, when I had a vivid dream that felt unmistakably spiritual. In the dream, a gentle yet firm voice reminded me said, “Have to be an artist before die.” I woke up with a profound sense of clarity and purpose. From that moment, I knew that creating art—and sharing its beauty with others—was the path I was meant to follow.Gongbi has become both my meditative practice and my creative language. I enjoy guiding students through the calm, focused process of fine line-work, subtle shading, and delicate colour layering. Watching their confidence grow as they discover this ancient art form is truly inspiring.As a bilingual Chinese artist working on Xuan paper, silk, and traditional silk fans, I bring authentic materials, cultural insight, and personal artistic experience into every session. My teaching is grounded in patience, encouragement, and the belief that everyone can create something beautiful.In addition to hosting regular studio classes, I recently delivered a guest speech and live demonstration for the Decoupage Guild Australia. In early 2025, my artwork was also featured in the HOPE art exhibition with Whittlesea Council.
