About
My parents came over to the UK from Hong Kong in the 1990s, and I grew up in the West Midlands countryside. I studied Fine Art at University of Staffordshire and Birmingham School of Art. Going to university to study art was the first time I got access to arts and culture. After graduation I worked in factories for a decade to financially support my art and have it shown locally in Birmingham, London and in different countries.
I have a late diagnosis of level 1 autism and awaiting assessment for ADHD. It was unrecognised due to my bilingualism and ethnic differences at school. It’s comorbid with anxiety and other disorders as a result of trying to mask towards fitting a conventional standard. These symptoms were addressed as behaviour problems at university, and hidden under what the doctors assessed as a ‘well-kempt’ appearance when I was hospitalised in 2016.
