Experience
I have a unique set of experience both working and teaching in the art world. I've worked at Art Basel Hong Kong 2015 and most recently at Kaikai Kiki here in NYC, and I have many years of experience teaching drawing and painting to students as a private business owner in Beijing. My academic background includes silkscreen and various exhibitions at the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA--the best art school in China), and most recently a Master's in Fine Arts from the University of Washington in Seattle. During this time, I've picked up a wide variety of techniques, taught a painting and drawing class at the university level as well, explored the worlds of art history and art theory, and broadened my own set of work as an independent artist. I'd love to share all this experience with you too! I enjoy teaching students with an interest in art, regardless of their desired field or technique. I'm very easy to get along with and love teaching students about the art world itself in addition to showing them techniques. I'm well-versed in common teaching methods used for art here in the US in addition to those through which I learned art myself, and can give students as much or as little of that as they'd like. I respond well to individual requests by interested students and will help each student reach their own unique goals. In addition to my years of private practice, I've learned the academic underpinnings of these subjects through my MFA at UW. I can provide each student with a unique blend of theory and practice that's catered to their own individual needs and goals. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I'm looking forward to meeting you soon!

Hobbies
I'm also a museum fanatic who finds new exhibits across the city all the time, so if you'd like me to give you a guided tour of specific exhibits with an explanation of the importance of this work for the history and trends of the world world in addition to interesting tidbits about the artists themselves, then I can definitely do that too! Art has been a long-term passion of mine since my early years, and I'd love to share that excitement with anyone.
