I enjoyed the freedom painting offers me when I was little and dreamed that I could be a painter one day. Unfortunately, it was very hard for artists to make a living in Hong Kong, so I had to put my dream aside. After moving to the US, I settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It's an art capital with strong Spanish and Native American influences; there are many world-class galleries; everyone loves art; and Santa Fe’s natural environment gave me a strong sense of connection with earth. These excellent conditions inspired me to become a professional artist.
