About Me

︎     ︎

    Hui is a 🏳️‍🌈 illustrator and graphic designer who travels between 🇨🇳 and  🇺🇸. She has earned MFA degree at School of Visual Art, Illustration as Visual Essay program, and MFA Communication Design at Pratt Institute.

    Inspired by pop culture, art history and culture from different regions, her works explores human intimacy with a humor tone. By integrating these elements, she creates scenes that are familiar but unexpected. She likes using extreme bright colors to depict human body which evoke collected memories and imagination. Most of her works are done by watercolor, which is inspired by her experience of learning traditional Chinese painting in her early age. The combination of water and color expresses the fluidity and the stream of subconscious.

    When she is not 🎨, she enjoys making accessries, watching old 🎬 with 🍷, or visiting new places and talk to strangers.
