About Me
A passionate 17-year-old visual artist using creativity to make a positive impact on the world
Hello, I'm Kate!
I'm a 17-year-old visual artist from Shanghai, passionate about using art as a medium to express my perspectives on nature, society, and human connections. Currently studying at Shanghai United International School, I'm preparing to apply for Media Study and Psychology in US colleges.
My artistic journey is deeply intertwined with my commitment to social causes—whether it's advocating for stray animals through creative comics, building communities for fellow artists, or expressing environmental concerns through eco-art installations. I believe that art has the power to inspire change and connect people across cultures.
