Where I start

February 21, 2019

Greetings to all art enthusiasts and curious minds! Today, I invite you to step into the vibrant tapestry of my artistic odyssey, a journey that began in the heart of a traditional Chinese household and unfolded in Auckland, New Zealand.

My immersion into the world of art began at the tender age of 14 when I took my first steps into the realm of foundational sketching. The year 2012 marked a pivotal moment as I delved into the study of fine arts under the guidance of esteemed instructors from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. This formative period laid the groundwork for my artistic prowess.

In 2013, I participated in the Shandong Provincial Art Joint Examination, earning an impressive score of 147 out of 150—a testament to my dedication and emerging talent. The following year, I embarked on a new chapter, crossing the oceans to New Zealand and enrolling at ACG Fine Art. Here, my passion flourished, reflected in consistently outstanding academic achievements.

The year 2016 witnessed a shift in focus as I delved into the realm of spatial design and drawing at AUT. This exploration of spatial aesthetics added a unique dimension to my artistic expression. From 2017 to 2023, I navigated diverse roles as a commercial designer, interior decorator, and art educator, each experience contributing to the kaleidoscope of my creative vision.

In 2021, the metamorphosis into an independent artist took place, marked by the creation of notable pieces such as "Ansen Dairy," "Ansen’s Journey," "Hello Claire-SHE," and "Seven twenty-four." These artworks encapsulate my evolving narrative, each stroke telling a story of growth, introspection, and self-discovery.

Now, in 2024, I am thrilled to announce the establishment of Le Summer Art Studio. This venture is not merely a space; it is a culmination of experiences, a haven for creativity, and a bridge between cultures. Here, art comes alive, transcending boundaries and inviting all to explore the boundless possibilities within the strokes of a brush.

Join me as we embark on a visual voyage, where every canvas becomes a portal to emotions, stories, and the uncharted territories of imagination. This is not just a studio; it is a testament to the resilience of dreams and the beauty found in starting from the ordinary. Welcome to Le Summer Art Studio, where every stroke paints a story, and every story begins from where I started.
