Roar!!
My work has gone through
major changes ever since I moved to Canada.
Growing up in the tropic South of Taiwan where
painting plein air and painting from life was
part of the norm for me. Now that the new life
in Canada has confined me indoor many months of
the year,
plein air painting
has become precious occasions. I have adapted my
new environments and channeled these physical
confines into pushing technical boundaries of
watercolour and exploring variety of subjects
and composition designs.
I've embraced the
advantages of what were lacking in plein air
painting and take the time to capture the
luminiscent quality of lights that fascinated
me.
The minute details
and photo realisms are never my intentions. My
main goal in painting is to express whatever
grabs me and touches me from the first
impression.
The unspoiled beauty
of the coastlines and rural life of Nova Scotia
are what inspired me on a daily basis. My
paintings are the reflections of what surrounded
me. |
