Artist · Metalwork · Drawings

I have always been drawn to making. As a child, I gathered materials from around the house and turned them into small artworks — a curiosity that later led me to study Fine Art Sculpture at Crawford College of Art & Design in Cork.

It was there that I discovered my love for metal, specialising in large-scale welded sculpture, while continuing to draw with pen and ink. Rooted in my Taiwanese heritage and the traditions of Chinese calligraphy, drawing sits at the heart of my practice.

I founded Saw Framed in 2019. The studio takes its name from the jeweller’s saw frame — a hand tool central to metalwork — and from the act of framing drawings and ideas. Working with ink and pen, I create hand-drawn works that explore Irish life through everyday rituals, humour, and quiet moments of connection. These drawings begin as a mindful, meditative process and are intended to offer the same pause for the viewer — moments of reflection, comfort, and belonging.

Following my graduation in 2004, I transitioned from large-scale sculpture to jewellery, translating sculptural thinking into wearable precious-metal forms. After six years of building Saw Framed, I am entering a new chapter of my practice. My work is transitioning into limited-edition metalwork wearable art, embracing my role as a sculptor in full, while continuing to draw as an artist at the core of the studio.
