Living & Making a Life in Rural West Central Minnesota

I was #MadeInChina - #BornInTheUSA (all because of China’s ‘One Child Policy’) and had the fortune of being raise in rural west central Minnesota. I painted a series as a part of Springboard for the Arts’ Artists Respond: Equitable Rural Futures titled The Audacity to be Asian in Rural America: we owe you no apologies to share and archive my family’s immigration experiences (toured across MN from May 2021 - January 2024)

I’ve learned that what I have to say doesn’t resonate with everyone - and that’s ok! But if you’re one of those dope humans that vibes with my artwork, ideas and lifestyle - let’s keep the conversation going!

(Oh - and don’t worry about spam - I wouldn’t do you like that. 😘)
