Biography:

Ann Lin (Lan Zi, Chinese name: 兰子 ), is a Chinese-born Australian artist and writer. She has lived in Sydney since 1988 (she lived and worked in HongKong, in 1994-1995). She graduated from the University of NSW, Australia, where she studied commerce.

She sees herself as an “Abstract Expressionist painter”, dominated by the inspiration which emanated from her thoughts:

“I am a modern art painter. American modern art, especially Abstract Expressionism, is my direction and path”.

“I tried many different styles: realistic, semi-abstract, naïve style, etc, until one day I met Abstract Expressionism. It strove to convey emotions and ideas through the making of marks, through forms, textures, shades, and the particular quality of brushstrokes. These are what I want to do in my paintings.’

“I had found my path since that moment”.
