I was blessed with dear parents, who were very well educated and talented engineers but had to spent their lives in the Northern Mountains of China on the edge of Siberia. After my Father’s early death, Mother decided to focus all her energies to send her three children to university. Mom's mission was the only way for us to leave the mountains. Her dreams were accomplished with incredible sacrifices. 
My brother and sister are architect/engineers, I am the artist in the family.
Since leaving the mountain, mud and wild flowers, I have moved to several major cities looking for a modern life. During my search from city to city, country to country, I found that the only thing I have really gotten, is a long line of footprints behind me, which had become part of my life on this one-way trip.
I love where I came from and where I am going.
I love to draw, paint, write and think, about what is pure, true and beautiful in life.
Presently, I live in Philadelphia. I would love to hear your thoughts about my painting. Hope my work can bring you a piece of happiness each day.
