About

Welcome to Ivywild!

As a little girl, I found joy in sketching, calligraphy, and traditional Chinese painting.

I later pursued a career in architecture, a path that took me across three continents and four countries. Over 16 years, I designed everything from towering skyscrapers in Hong Kong to humble brick buildings in rural India.

Since 2017, the Ivywild neighborhood in Colorado Springs has been my adopted home.

One day in 2020, I pulled out my long-forgotten paintbrushes and my 30-year-old Winsor and Newton watercolor tubes. Though they were hard as rock, I was determined to give them new life and pursue the passion of my childhood.

Ivywild Studio was born when I put those old pigment rocks into new glass containers and revived them with clear water.

More than a search for creative expression, I am on a journey to discover the beauty that has surrounded us since the beginning.

I hope my work in this space will speak to you in a meaningful way.
