Artist & Teacher
Welcome, I’m Qi (pronounced CHEE).
Drawing and painting have been lifelong passions of mine. Over the last ten years, I deeply invested in mastering my craft, and I recently decided to take the leap into a full-time art career. Today, I work in a professional art studio that is open to the public. As a studio painter, sculptor, and outdoor muralist, I pour my heart into everything I create. I also teach oil and watercolor lessons and take on custom portrait commissions.
Collect Original Artwork
How My Art Drops Work: Because I balance a busy studio schedule, teaching, and raising two wonderful kids, I manage my art sales using a “collection drop” model. This allows me to focus fully on painting for a few months, and then dedicate a focused window of time to seamlessly managing your shipping and customer service.
- In-Person Sales First: I sell a lot of my work in person at my studio, so some pieces never make it to the website.
- Pricing Transparency: I leave a selection of sold work online so you can easily gauge my pricing and style.
- Collector’s List Perks: Members of my Collector’s List get exclusive, early access to new original pieces and print drops before they go live to the general public.
Commission a Custom Piece
Looking for something tailored just for you? I accept a limited number of custom artwork and portrait commissions throughout the year.
Learn with me
I have had the privilege of studying under many incredible masters, a learning journey that never truly ends. I am deeply honored to pass that knowledge on to you.
I currently teach private lessons to a small, dedicated group of students. From beginner to advanced, all are welcome. If you would like to study oil or watercolor painting with me, please fill out my interest form. You can let me know what medium you want to learn, your preferred schedule, and how often you’d like to meet.
