Seven years ago, I moved from Taiwan to The United States. One year later I met my back then boyfriend, now my lovely husband . Now, I call St. Louis my second home.

My first winter experience in St. Louis was hard, consider that I came from a tropical weather where four seasons like spring. My nose couldn't stop bleeding, my body was weak, so I reach out for yoga. I started my first yoga class in 2009, it clamed me, healed me, and inspired me. Practicing yoga is not only helped me build up my own strength without taking medication, furthermore, it transformed me in an unexpected way, I start to create art.

One afternoon in 2011, I created a piece fine line art " YOGA " . Inside of the Chinese calligraphy "Yoga " is me doing the pose that most challenges me. I framed it in my studio to remind myself to find my balance between challenge and grace. I have been practicing yoga and create art in the same time since 2010.

My first artwork was extra-fine lines art that created with uni-ball pen (0.25mm - 0.7mm ) in 2010 , From there, my artwork accepted in an jury show in St.Louis Artist's Guild in 2011, I launched Etsy in the same year. Ever since , I continued design and work with different images and idea with clients from around the world. Their special request have challenged me and inspired me in an amazing way.

In 2011, my father got sick, I almost lost him. This experience was other turning point in my life , I decided to step into yoga more deeply to understand the meaning of life. In May 2014, I became a certificated Vinyasa yoga teacher.

I'm very grateful to share my journey with each one of you who came cross my life ; no matter by art or yoga. It has been a blessing journey, thank you for ride along with me !

With gratitude,
Christy Lin
