Born in 1990 in Taipei, Taiwan, Shirley embarked on a life journey shaped by a deep curiosity about the world's diversity and interconnectedness. After earning her degree from Taipei University, Shirley set out to explore and immerse herself in a myriad of cultures - from attending a festival in a rural graveyard in Japan commemorating the spirits of deceased family members - to sipping cup after cup of excellent Macchiato in Kosovo. After having lived in Australia, Japan, and New Zealand, and venturing through 4 different continents, she currently dividing her time between her native Taiwan and Canada.

Her experiences living among diverse cultures have influenced her artistic expression. Shirley's artwork serves as a reflection of her profound insights into the multifaceted nature of human societies and their environments.
