I was born in China, moved to the USA in 1976. I have my first solo exhibit in San Francisco three years later. For three decades I refrained from gallery exhibit. In relative isolation I worked my way through a succession of painting styles, from surrealism to abstraction and  to figurative expressionism. Meanwhile, I did realistic airbrush painting and engraving style pen-and-ink for the advertising industry. In the beginning of the digital revolution, I mastered many digital design tools, and was recruited to work in computer animations, then eventually received an international grand prize for 3-D graphics at the annual Seybold Convention. At the dawning of the Internet age, I experimented with various web designs and codes and moved on to building a successful Buddhist art business online. Upon this milestone I decided it was time to devote my energy into the quest for originality. Where was I and where am I? I invite you to visit my site for the whole picture: WWW.TWCHUI.COM
