Johnny Tse

Entrepreneur in art design and illustration with a background in advertising and art glass works.

I am a Chinese-Canadian artist with 30 years of experience in advertising design and illustration in Hong Kong and 26+ years of designing exterior and interior art glass work in Vancouver, including a public art glass mural for the Olympian City Mall in Hong Kong and the Vancouver Olympics Cauldron in 2010.

I aspire to create unique art that is one of a kind, drawing from my multicultural experience, design background, and personal taste for graphic art. While my expertise is in realistic airbrush techniques, my most recent designs include basswood or cardboard relief hand-cut and carefully painted with acrylic for a 3D effect. My hope is to expand my horizon on what art could be and stretch my creativity by exploring new methods and media.
