A Shy Lucky Rabbit
/ ink pen / 29x15 cm
!
Fine Line Lucky Rabbit It’s a lucky charm, but it’s very shy and rare. I got this idea from my pet rabbit and the four- leaf clover. When she died, I believe she went to heaven. She will bring happiness and luck to the angels there like she did for me. My pet rabbit, Baby.

Through a long time of inner-exploring and trying, I realised my best work come from my original ideas. Therefore, I started to create these line-illustrations without any draft. I usually collect different ideas, then put Lucky Rabbit

all the components together to create my work.

Fine Line Vitality ink pen / 15 x 29 cm I majored in Forestry in college. That is also why I am fascinated by natural beauty. I have gotten a lot of inspiration from nature. Various curve lines and vivid colours of natural creatures could make my drawing more elegant. Thus, I like to compose pictures that include plants and animals.

Fine Line Owl ink pen / 29 x 15 cm Owl, the mysterious and charming creature, whose eyes are always attractive. I tried to use rich lines and little shapes to express my feeling about an owl.

Fine Line colour In these two works, I tried to use red colour to express the hot feeling in summer, and blue colour to show the cool feeling of rain .

Fine Line Frog - A Great Reading Company ink pen / 15 x 29 cm One day, my friend told me while he was reading under a big tree, a small and adorable frog dropped on his book. This interesting story inspired me to create this picture.

Fine Line Love
I made a circle to symbolize that having a soul mate makes life complete. Red means passion and love. The word "LOVE� shaped into numerous hearts. There are three stages of how the people meet, date, then fall in love.

Fine Line Wishes to Horse Year I used the synonym with the horse to present the wishes for the Chinese horse year. Horse is Ma (
) in Mandarin Chinese. On a horse back
( ma-shang
) in Mandarin Chinese has a
meaning of “right away.” In the picture ,Having Wealth and Romance Right Away, the peach is a symbol of love and romance. The number eight means rich in Mandarin Chinese. There is no four (mei-shi
) in Mandarin
Chinese has a meaning of “everything is going
Everything is Going to be O.K.
to be O.K..”

Sketch Drawing Wherever, Whenever These sketches were drawn on the way when I was traveling in Taipei. Other ideas were from different books I have read, and movies I have
Mermaid’s Tears
watched. In addition, my friends’ stories were also

good materials to sketch. I love to sketch pictures that tell stories of all walks of life.

Comics Everyone can be a Super Star ink pen
I made people’s portraits in comics. I tried to make them become famous Japanese cartoon or Hollywood movie characters. Moreover, I drew this series in a humorous sense.

Tissue drawing I Draw What I Eat ink pen
I like to draw these cuisines on tissues and napkins when I am eating in different restaurants. Knowing everyone would also like to try new dishes, I share these drawing on my Facebook fan page. I hope my tissue drawing can inspire people not only to enjoy the taste of their meal, but also to appreciate the art of plating food.

Colour Art The Sloths ink pen ,colour pencil / 15x29 cm
I love sloths for their image of a relaxing attitude and lovely smiles. Sloths usually hang on branches, but it would be adorable for them to hang on a rainbow. Rainbow colours bring life and joy out of this picture.
21
Colour Art Meet Your Date Right Away ink pen ,colour pencil / 15x29 cm
It is another homonyms idea about the horse. A pair of elephants in Chinese symbolises love. A pair of elephants on the horse means you will meet your Mr. or Ms. Right.
22
Colour Art Guardian Angel ink pen ,colour pencil / 15x29 cm
I love nature, animals and plants. I majored in Forestry in college. It helped me to know more about trees. Trees can offer a safe and peaceful environment for living things. They are like guardian angels to our nature.

Colour Art Mermaid Princess and Her Pet colour ink, ink pen / 19.5 x27.5 cm
I think it is more interesting if the mermaid has a fish head and human legs. She has a cat as a pet. How ironic is that? Moreover, if she is the character in the story, The Little Mermaid, will the prince still fall in love with her?

Bride ink pen, colour pencil / 25.7 x 16.7 cm

Colour Art Colour, the more the better. I like to use rich colour to represent happiness. Normally, brides wear a white dress to symbolise purity. Their eyes and smiles sparkle with happiness. It is why I drew this picture ,Bride, in vivid colours. The picture of Jelly Flower was inspired by bridal bouquet. The long and curvy ribbons made me think of the tentacles of the jellyfish. Therefore, I created this new species.

Indonesia Batik Wax and Painting Batik is an amazing traditional art in Indonesia. Using wax and colour painting on cloth, it creates lively visual image. I was so glad to have the opportunity to learn this interesting painting technique while I was working in Indonesia. The lovely country and their lovely art both inspire my fine line works.

Painting Life acrylic colour /
15.5 x 22.5 cm x 7 pieces
In this series, I did not only create the picture in the front, but also on the sides. I tried to make the picture extending from one canvas to another. It is interesting if you look at the picture from different angles. The lines are not only extending from each canvas, but also from one canvas’s front to another’s side. Which is like life, things connecting or affecting each other. I used the red to symbolise the ups in one’s life. On the other hand, black means the downs. And white signifies the normal times in one’s life.

Painting Day Dreamer acrylic, sparkling glitter /
65 x 91cm
The school where I am working asked me to draw a painting for the school and the students. Meanwhile, the baby panda was born and became very popular in Taipei zoo. It inspired me to draw the Formosan Black Bear to encourage people to pay more attention on our endangered species in Taiwan. Therefore I drew a cute Formosan Black Bear. It is daydreaming about playing with the rabbit angels that are coming down from the sky. 28
