With years of dedication in pharmaceutical research, I was constantly struck by the breathtaking images of cells and tissues that come alive under the microscope, full of vivid colors and intricate shapes. Driven by passion for those beautiful images, I have held on to a lifelong dream of transforming them into art.    I draw inspiration from renowned artists like Jackson Pollock, Wassily Kandinsky, Robert Motherwell as well as my art mentor, Mr. JenZ Shifu, a Canadian artist who has created a distinctive non- representational art form called “Iconcography” where Chinese calligraphy art, modern western painting and collages are blended together. I have also been privileged to learn from Ms. Suzanne Metz, a well established abstract artist in Canada.  Biology on canvas is a series of acrylic paintings that I have been created, an abstract and iconography artist whose soulful connection to the beauty of biology sciences has inspired a stunning collection of art.
