Ai Xue 艾雪

As a linguist with a deep fascination for languages and cultures, I began learning Chinese a few years ago. This journey into language brought me face-to-face with the profound beauty of Chinese history and art, sparking a creative path I hadn’t expected. My Chinese teacher honored me with the name 艾雪, a name that now reflects my artistic journey and my connection to traditional East Asian culture, a gesture that connects me even more deeply to the traditions that inspire my work.

My ink paintings on rice paper are influenced by classical East Asian art forms, where each brushstroke honors the simplicity and harmony of nature. My work invites viewers to pause, reflect, and find beauty in simplicity and imperfection. Through every brushstroke, I aim to convey a story of balance, grace, and cultural heritage. Thank you for taking this journey with me—I’m honored to share my art with you.
