Chinese painter, Don Li emerged his own talent at age 3 when he was seen scratching sketches of a rooster and duck in the dirt with a stick. Encouraged by others, he was given basic art supplies and began to draw daily. After graduation, he worked as a muralist on various buildings and also freelanced as a graphic artist. Don’s subject matter includes portraiture and figurative art as well as landscapes, in media as varied as oils, acrylics, scratched board, color pencil, ink, and copper. Then he found that children gave him new inspiration as an artist after became a father. He saw how children occupy their own emotional world of solitude and introspection, a sort of dream land and soul world that artists themselves often try to escape into. It is that interior life that he seeks to convey through his art.
