Zhixin Li,
(Annie)
About Me.
Born and raised in Shanghai, China, Annie Li is a contemporary artist who has spent the past 8 years in California. She is currently studying Art Practice at the University of California, Berkeley. Her work is deeply personal and focuses on her experiences, thoughts, emotions, and expectations. Her work is also the presentation of her past, present, and future. Art has been her way of self-realization and self-actualization. While she works in multidisciplinary mediums such as painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture, she continues to explore and experiment with different mediums and possibilities in art.
