Hi, I’m Lu, and Colors are my earliest passion.

I have the impression I have been deeply drawn to colors since birth, a connection that made me feel like an artist filled with wonder from an early age.

Practical reasons led me to graphic design, which unexpectedly opened a new aesthetic perspective I now weave into all aspects of my life. Over time, I learned to edit my work with intention, a skill I continue to refine.

For years, graphic design was my primary artistic outlet, tethering me to a desk and computer—a routine that slowly took a toll. Seeking a change, I began exploring analog collage using lost materials and a cherished pair of golden scissors. This process allowed my hands to guide the work intuitively. It became an intimately healing practice, offering a depth I hadn’t found before.

This journey and life’s challenges led me to two profound influences I am grateful for, Herbalism and Tarot. Today, I prioritize creating as personal therapy, from exploring worlds through photography to preparing my herbal medicine. I work freelance, supporting artists, friends, and organizations I admire, including conceiving and maintaining the brand and website for LIVE! School of Music. I also write, currently tackling the challenging but rewarding process of editing the guidebook for The Sentient, my Tarot deck set to be published in 2025.
