I'm a Hong Kong based artist and educator fond of correspondence, cartography, typography and botany. Currently I teach middle school Art but have previously taught K, G1, Art K-5 and facilitated art workshops for K-12 students, fellow educators and various community groups.
During my break from international school teaching, I was able to gain a better understanding of the needs of underserved communities in Hong Kong. Through work at a community art non-profit, I developed and taught programs for kids, teen mothers, refugee women and the elderly. Art opened up avenues for learning and sharing as well as providing safe positive spaces to create.
In my personal practice, I create with and in nature. Through my naturepile series, temporary installations are made in situ from found natural materials. For me, these works speak of the overlooked beauty of our surroundings, our relationship with nature and the passage of time. Highlighting these small moments we encounter is a reminder to take notice, value and care for what surrounds us. My work echoes nature’s lines and patterns, a response and dialogue to the world around me through observing deeply and intentionally.
My other pursuits include cyanotype printing, watercolour painting, leaving things to be found, supporting the postal system, and starting collections.
