About
Working in my studio
In early 2020, I left the sun-drenched landscapes of California to Alaska, a place I had never visited before. I was deeply captivated by the stunning and majestic natural scenery of the Last Frontier. The beauty and magic of Alaska’s landscapes reignited my childhood dream of becoming an artist. Consequently, I decided to abandon my career plan as a graphic designer and embark on my new artistic journey.
I have a profound love for nature and often explore the wilderness near my home with my family, drawing endless inspiration from its beauty. I like to use a range of mediums including acrylic, pyrography, watercolor, and pastel to create art. While I am passionate about depicting the raw landscapes of nature, I also infuse my works with humanistic elements. This approach adds depth to my art, allowing it to resonate deeply with diverse audiences.
Drawing on the professional art knowledge I gained while studying graphic design at DVC in California in 2017, along with several years of dedicated practice, I have experienced significant artistic growth. Over the past four years, my work has received numerous art honors and grant awards from Alaska arts organizations. I am grateful to the beautiful land of Alaska for opening my artistic path.
Currently, I am a member of the Juneau Artists Gallery located at 175 S. Franklin Street, Juneau, Alaska 99801. Feel free to drop by and take a look around. I would love to receive your feedback on my artwork. Please feel free to share any thoughts you may have at any time.

Alaska Wilderness Whispers
In November 2024, I had a solo exhibition titled "Alaska Wilderness Whispers" at the Juneau-Douglas City Museum. This exhibition featured my recent works, including acrylic paintings and pyrography. It showcases Alaska's breathtaking landscapes and reflects the harmonious relationship between people and nature and the presence of wild animals.
