Li-lan invites viewers to the visual space that she has delicately constructed. The images in her work come from a wide range of cross-cultural sources. Eastern and Western culture subjects blend naturally in her work, co-existing in balance and in harmony, without conflicts, which reflects her life experience in multiple cultures. Li-lan is the daughter of renowned overseas Chinese artist Yun Gee.
Li-lan has exhibited extensively in the U.S. and internationally, especially in Taiwan and Japan.
