She began practicing Chinese ink painting at the age of 14 and held her first solo exhibition at UNESCO Macao at the age of 17.

Upon relocating to Paris, she embarked on a journey to redefine Chinese ink art by incorporating delicate lace details into her works, thereby embodying her cross-cultural identity as a Chinese woman in Paris.

She is recognized for her contemporary interpretation of Chinese ink art, especially in the traditionally male-dominated Chinese ink painting market. Her bold brushstrokes challenge conventional perceptions of the art form. 

Her femininity and the precision of her brush in drawing lace captivated Aubade, for whom she created a capsule collection of lingerie (see the video).
