Artist Statement
Eliza’s work is about balance and fusion: the balance between form and surface design and the fusion of Western culture and her Chinese heritage. Using nature as her inspiration, she likes to infuse meaning into her pieces by celebrating the symbolism behind particular animals, plants and flowers. She is always drawing inspiration from those around her and constantly explores new ideas to challenge herself to expand her creativity.
