Bio

At both my undergraduate and postgraduate levels, I learned landscape design. In 2016, I officially began my metal technology studies in a craftsman's workshop. And in the winter of 2017, I went to L'ECOLE, The School of Jewelry Arts in Paris, to accomplish the enamel and Japanese lacquer arts classes.  My personal artistic practice started with those keen perceptions after mastering the craft technologies and traditional metal skills proficiently. Now I’m a professional teacher in the Arts and Crafts Department of Nanjing Institute of Technology, and I do a creative job in the Association's Jewelry Education Committee of Jiangsu Jewelry and Jade Industry, and also a member of the Jiangsu Folk Association. I was the referee for the jewellery processing of World Skills Competitions and municipal competitions, as well as the professional qualification examination for jewellery designers in the national industry vocational skills competition. My works have won awards in numerous exhibitions both at home and abroad, and some of them are privately collected.

Statement

Since I was born on the spring equinox in March, which marks the beginning of the year's revival, my feelings about life and the world are primitive, similar to those of a newborn, absorbing the purest parts of things and seeing the world through the eyes of a child. The majority of my works have simple lines, and the materials I use highlight their own texture. The overall style is pure and bright, revealing women's sensitive and delicate feelings.
