Shortly after graduating high school, Sun left for New Mexico where she honed her skills in graphite portraits.

Artist Statement:
I love playing with colors and shaping them in ways that make them pop to the eye. I’m always chasing the feeling I get when I see those kinds of contrasts in nature, and I want to put that exhilaration on a canvas; I want my art to radiate. The first thing I have in mind when starting a new piece are the colors and energy that I want the figure to express. I see the figures not quite as real people, but dreamlike manifestations of certain feelings or auras. I want people to experience beauty in the way that I do. I want to see beauty not as something to visualize and aspire to, but as a spiritual and visceral experience.
