Artists Statement

I am an animator and illustrator studying animation at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, Canada. Most of my animations are a blend of 2D and live-action. Being an international student from China adds a unique perspective to my animation work and storytelling. Major influences in my work include manga artist Takahashi Rumiko and East Asian animation. My creative work explores humor and sentimentality, which I find to be a combination that stirs powerful emotions.
