Born in Hong Kong, Ming first started to learn free style Chinese painting at the
Hong Kong Art Centre in her native Hong Kong little over a decade ago. After
immigrating to Canada in 1999, she dedicated herself to the study of Chinese paintings. She has taught both children and adults throughout the Lower Mainland, and has exhibited her paintings at various galleries in Richmond, Port Moody and Vancouver. She hopes that in the future Chinese painting, and in particular her free style approach, will play a more significant role in local arts events in Canada's multi-cultural community.
