I take inspiration from the wonderful Scottish landscope around me, mushrooms, and my cat.

I grew up in Hong Kong, where I drew incessantly as a child. Though my professional life has led me into medicine, art has always been a quiet constant, giving me space to slow down, observe, and imagine.

Since moving to Aberdeen to live with my husband, I have found new inspiration in hiking, foraging, and sea-swimming. When work took me to different parts of Scotland, I have been deeply moved by its beauty. I try to communicate the sense of wonder I feel in nature through my art.

Over the years, my practice has evolved from coloured pencil drawings to my current use of mixed media, which include ink, watercolours, gouache, and acrylic pens.
