About & Contact
And you’re also welcomed to call me Cherry;)
I’m an illustrator based in Baltimore. I graduated from China Academy of Arts with a BFA in Illustration and Comics, and is currently pursuing my MFA in Illustration Practice at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
I love working with textures and creating vibrant, dynamic pieces. My work is mostly inspired by cute creatures, fantasy world I read about, and my everyday observations.
I work across multiple mediums. I write and illustrate picture books. I also work in motion graphics. And I love figuring things out and hands-on projects so I make automaton and embroidery as well.
