I'm an Asian Canadian artist whose work lives at the intersection of food, colour, and memory.

Growing up, food was never just sustenance, it was culture, care, and conversation. I paint to capture that feeling: the warmth of a shared dish, the vibrancy of a sushi feast, the quiet pleasure of a meal eaten slowly.

Oil pastel is my medium of choice, its richness and texture the closest thing I've found to the sensory experience of eating itself.
