The bromance of New York and Japan continues — it’s spring in Central Park! This was my proposal for the Japan Day artwork competition in the Central park this year. I was looking for elements of Japanese culture that would still be recognizable to a Western audience, but which haven’t been terribly overused yet. I eventually settled on using the traditional style of Japanese map drawing, the full-body tattoos of the Edo period, and the dramatic hairstyle of samurai (and these days, sumo wrestlers). The tattoo became a map of Central Park covered by cherry blossom , drawn in the traditional style — you may recognize the northern half of the park, with the reservoir, the North Woods, the swimming pool and Harlem Meer. The man looks out over a dramatic Manhattan sunset. Even though my artwork was not selected by the jury, I really enjoyed the entire process of making it. This one of my favourites!

My art wants to put a smile on your face. All of my paintings tell a story, and every story has a little twist. You'll have to look closely: details matter to me. I was born and grew up in Taiwan, and moved to the Netherlands in 2014, where I am again living now after a 2-year stint in San Diego. You can check out my Instagram for a mix of work in progress and snapshots of my life with husband and cat.
