 I am excited to be bringing an animation workshop to adults and families on November 3, 1-3pm at the Vancouver Maritime Museum as part of the 4 episodes film launch of The Deep.
For more information and to register, please visit: www.vanmaritime.com You can also watch the film online here  Last year I had the opportunity to work quietly on an animation short titled, 围绕这厨房桌子: Around the Kitchen Table 2024 in memory of my grandparents. The piece is showing at Mount Pleasant Community Art Screen from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025. Every 3 month or so, a different section will be playing that corresponds to the season and festivals. Hope you take a look when you pass by the area!
For more information and the screening schedule, please visit: www.mpcas.ca  I created a little workshop video for Artstarts’ Explores series titled: Exploring Hidden Colours with Everyday Tools. Starting with the question “what if I have no art supplies?,” we will look for hidden colours that surrounds us in everyday life. With respects to the land and what it provides us, scraps and small samples will be harvested to explore, play, and make marks using household objects.
ArtStarts Explores is a digital series for creative and adventurous families. These workshops explore creativity through hands-on investigations and a wide variety of materials and artistic mediums. We invite families to experiment together through observing, touching, drawing, moving, assembling and listening to ignite creative learning.

Come by the Sun Yat-Sen Garden between May 26-28, 2023 to see the community inspired animation 一字千景: a thousand scenes in one word!

 I am delighted to be part of the artist roster at Artasiam, an online gallery dedicated to the promotion of Asian Canadian art and artists. A few of my original illustrated pieces will be available for purchase there along with many beautiful artworks by other Asian artists.
For more information, please visit www.artsisam.com to browse and support.  I am so honoured to collaborate with Laura Barron from Instrument of Change to do a series of "pop-up" art booth in the City of Vancouver this summer. Through story, poetry, drawing and painting, the public is invited to express gratitude towards their local community assets. Each creative work will be documented on a digital map and spread throughout the city in a surprise installation. This project is supported by the Neighbourhood Matching Fund of the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation as well as Instrument of Change.

“The Storywalk will feature the winning story from the 2020 Flash Fiction contest, a collaboration between the Terry Fox Library and the City of Port Coquitlam during May Days 2020. Port Coquitlam resident Jade Wong’s winning story, titled The Seed of Happiness, is illustrated by Wen Wen Lu, the City’s 2020 Lions Park Artist in Residence.” For more information, please visit: www.portcoquitlam.ca/donald-storywalk which includes the online and audio version of the story.

Lions Park Artist Residency
Sun, Rain, Wind: an immersive experience in nature May to October, 2019 In these unprecedented times, there is a calming effect in nature. The beauty in a ray of sunshine, a gentle breeze or the rhythmic sound of the rain, these are the things that grounds us. Inspired by the setting of Lions Park and the community of Port Coquitlam, the artist residency seeks to create an immersive installation through individual stories of sun, rain and wind, collected together to form a united experience. Ways to participate include weekly Find Me Games, themed workshops, installation in the park and online memoir. For more information about the residency, please visit: lionsparkresidency.weebly.com |
