Yao’s ideas can spark from a feeling, a song or a bright color.
They are then relentlessly explored on paper. Many are misses, but a few gems always emerge.
This process is not seen in the finished work but is the story.
Yao Cheng believes that art can be a dynamic part of our everyday living.
Her designs will inspire others to see art as more than just a picture on a wall.
