Artist- Live Wedding Painter & Live Event Guest Portrait Illustrator

The Artist Behind the Brush

I’ve been known as the "art girl" since childhood—the one winning art awards every year, creating murals, posters, and flyers for my schools, then studying across China, Paris’ École des Beaux-Arts, and earning my BFA in Painting from Florida Atlantic University.

Today, my work is exhibited in galleries like Bailey Contemporary Arts—where my 2023 solo show The Sign won the Broward Artist Innovation Grant—and has been featured on the cover of Pompano! Magazine, PBS TV, Bold Journey, and more. But my greatest joy? Painting live.

Why I Paint Celebrations

When a gallery first invited me to paint during an event, I had a realization: Art thrives in connection. The tearful hug from a bride seeing her ceremony immortalized, the guests telling me, "This is the coolest thing I’ve seen at a wedding!"—this is why I do what I do. I turn fleeting moments into heirloom art that pulses with life.
