Hello! I’m Jenny, an American-born Chinese. I grew up in a yellow house with my sisters and brothers in the calm outskirts of Boston. Our backyard was brimming with adventure: I’d comb through my mom’s Chinese garden and the lawn, finding caterpillar-like bugs and other amazing sights. I pursued a career in biology studying even more of nature’s connections. And as a freelance artist, nature inspires my creativity.

I love to reveal our planet’s diversity and complexity by mixing meaningful vibrant visuals and text. Another way is by volunteering as a children’s literacy program tutor, engaging students to make connections in our complex world, one book at a time.

Art to Benefit Youths + Communities

For an art commission, I had the privilege of painting a mural in a nursery. The parents shared their ideas for the design. It was a rewarding experience to be able to imagine how the art would someday impact a child’s life.

I exhibited at healthcare facilities, a federal courthouse, libraries, museums and schools. These shows were often centered around raising diversity and cultural awareness, as well as on revealing the environmental status of our world. I also exhibited at Open Studios and international shows that placed a spotlight on less-fortunate children, including a fundraising show for UNICEF.

In addition, I’ve created art to promote causes for non-profit organizations, like: Asian-American empowerment with “NAAAP”, shining the spotlight on women composers with “Art Without Borders”, mentoring with “Over My Shoulder Foundation”, recycling with “Building Materials Resource Center” and science in the peer-reviewed medical journal, “Infection and Immunity”, published by the American Society for Microbiology.
