Plate 01
A Taste of Tradition
Guohua of hawthorn berries — the fruit behind tanghulu. I painted the bright red berries beside the tools used to make and serve it, so the piece holds a food memory, not only a fruit.
Art
Familiar things, seen differently.
Chinese brush painting, oil, watercolor, marker, pencil, clay, ceramic, cardboard. A piece often starts ordinary — a dragon, a fruit, a candle — then asks for another meaning.
Plate 02
Nature's Unusual Forms
Fingered citron — Buddha's hand — growing on branches. I liked how strange the fruit looks, like an open hand, and left open space so the painting stays light.
Plate 03
A Celebration of Harvest
Warm brown ground, purple fruit, green leaves. Objects spread across the paper so the harvest feels full and lively instead of piled in one corner.
Plate 04
Reimagining Tradition
A Chinese dragon in pastel watercolor and marker — friendlier, modern, with the tail leaving the frame so it feels mid-motion.

Pieces waiting for photos
Copy from the old site — drop images into assets/art/ and they can join the plates above.
Emeralds, Enchantment & Ancient Mysteries
Sketches about green and jewels — partly inspired by the green dress in La La Land and by Hecate.
The Power of Music
A Mr. Doodle–style field of marks with a trumpet-bearing figure spreading goodness through music — Orpheus in the noise.
To Be or Not to Be
A wooden puppet with a bruise near its chest, one color only — can a faceless figure still make you feel Hamlet's despair?
The Silent Majesty of the Forest
Oil deer in a dark forest; face half in shadow so mood leads over exact likeness.
Bloom Before the Flame Fades
Ceramic candle with flowers growing from its sides — life is short, so bloom bold.
An Unexpected Friendship
Polymer clay bear and rabbit — strength that protects instead of overpowering.
Two Sides of Blood
Cardboard dragon puppet: one side bright, one threatening — my first 3D face.
