Born in Kunming, Yunnan, and trained in the classical material intelligence of ink, water, rice paper, and mineral pigments, she has taken the language of Chinese brush painting and submitted it to a radical re-reading through Dzogchen Buddhism and Yogācāra philosophy.

The art of Daniel McKinley unfolds within a paradox. It is at once confined and boundless, meticulously constructed yet open to infinite interpretation. In his oil paintings, walls and windows, stairs and corridors, cities and interiors coexist in an ambiguous geometry of mind and space. To enter McKinley’s world is to move through layers of perception, to navigate not only physical structures but the architecture of consciousness itself. His paintings, rigorous in composition and rich in atmosphere, engage the viewer in a dialogue between presence and absence, the seen and the imagined, the finite and the eternal.

I've an impassioned sense of the symbolic and metaphysical, and imbue my work with esoteric images. I may deploy different styles and techniques to suit the many translations one makes of life. My preferred medium is with oil glazes, and I try to integrate (at the risk of sounding pompous) the multiple holons of our metacognitive realizations. My paintings are intended to elicit curious questions, rather than to provide explicit answers.
I enjoy abstract artwork that allows me to express myself though spontaneity, yet with some structure and poise. My creative process stems from what inspires me. I love adding texture, mediums, in an array of vivid colors together that add depth to each piece, with a bit of open interpretation. Pulling from a variety of influences like, Mediterranean/Middle Eastern expressions, some envisioned as abstract city scapes, or vocal waveforms.

I love mixing colours and their radiance. I am fascinated by the world of colours, shapes and art, as there is always something new and interesting to discover. Perceiving, reflecting on and visualising coincidences, moments, events, dreams, ideas, themes, feelings and desires. Expressing this artistically in abstract or figurative form is my artistic motivation.

My paintings are an open dialogue with the world. When physical and abstract art coexist harmoniously. The motifs are symbolic in nature and open to various interpretations. They mostly touch on human life, its feelings, its essence on this earth. I paint without looking, I simply guide the brush across a sheet of paper, following my feeling, without thought.
