about nana’s gathering

Nana was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and earned her Master’s degree in Fine Art from Kingston University of London in 2011. In 2019, she returned to the UK to participate in the International Artist Training Program at the Royal College of Art, where she presented her performance art piece Timeline, using melting ice blocks as a medium to explore time and impermanence. During this period, she also completed overseas doctoral credits.

She has contributed visual design work to various cultural and performing arts organizations, including Cloud Gate Dance Theatre, the Eslite Culture Foundation. In 2013, Nana began integrating natural materials into her creative practice, and in 2014, she received support from Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture to establish her independent floral design studio, Urbanbotany, in Taipei. As a floral artist, she has continued to explore the relationship between nature and art through various forms of expression.

Since 2016, Nana has explored pop-up mini exhibitions around the world, using small-scale, playful, and versatile artworks to connect with local cultures. Her creative footprints have appeared in cities such as Taipei, Seoul, London and Los Angeles.

Now based in Los Angeles, California, Nana works across multiple mediums, with a current focus on healing art and aura portrait painting—capturing the life force of both plants and people through unique expressive techniques. Drawing inspiration from wild flora and natural landscapes, she creates miniature illustrations and artworks using organic materials.

In 2025, Nana participated as a live aura portrait artist at the Culver City Art Walk & Roll Festival, where she created on-site portraits for visitors, fostering a sense of community through art and personal connection. As a member of Frogtown Arts in LA, she continues to engage in local art festivals and spontaneous creative dialogues with the people and places she encounters.
