Persistence trumps talent.
In her own words
I was born in China and spent 1.5 years in England as a child. Then I moved to Toronto, Canada where I currently reside. In 2008, I graduated from Sheridan Institute’s BAA: Illustration program and have been making illustrations based on things I love: fashion, music and pin-up girls. I specialize in digital illustration using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator with some traditional methods. Walks in parks, cameo brooches, laughter and dresses are all very lovely things. When the beat’s right, I can’t help but dance!
Words of advice
- Try to see the beauty in everything
