• I am an artist, instructor, and superhero (arts advocate 提倡 ) promoting the importance of creative education and community participation in the arts that are active and inclusive. I create real world one of a kind handcrafted art, apparel, textiles (紡織品 ), computer assemblages (集合 ), sculptures, videos, and publications that embrace the empowerment (活力化 ) of brilliant hues, individualism, and acceptance. My artwork and apparel in Second Life samples from my own studio like handdyed handwoven textiles to digital prints on draped (垂掛的 ) fabric (織品 ).

The fastest means to create an impression, with the emphasis (重點 ) on personal motivation (動機 ), is with color.

• Color and its meaning is my passion and lifelong study. I devised the "hue are you?" color style system to streamline (精簡 ) expression and enhance your personal passion and ambitions (志向 ).

• Each style set in the system uses the clear language of color. I created apparel, art, and do personal evaluations (評價 ) using my color style system.

What do you want to convey (傳達 )?

"hue are you?"

My passion is to interweave (使交織 ) color theory, iconic (標誌性的 ) content, and education with hopeful beliefs and storytelling to produce a multi-layered(多層次 ) message about kind acceptance (贊同 ).

• A great deal of my artwork is crafted from textile methods and playful interpretations of identity through colorful means.

• I have been working with computers as a fine art and interactive medium for over twenty-seven years. This technique lends itself to sculptural artwork and my assemblages contain elements of computer-enhanced images, transparencies, hand weaving, and textiles.

hand dyed yarn

• colorful and unique• digitally printing on the silk

and then hand painting over them

• The silk scarves have a multi-layered process starting with photographing flowers and enhancing their colors and pose. Then they are digitally transformed into a pattern and printed directly onto the silk.

• Each printed scarf as a different design, no two are alike.
