After living in the U.S. for many years, her paintings have evolved from those rooted in traditional Chinese Landscape paintings, to those today which infuse Western influences. The resulting paintings are serene, subtly vibrant landscapes, blended together to produce a quiet emotive experience where "East meets West".
