JoJo’s Bio:
Chinese calligraphy is one of the most traditional art forms in the world, truly representative of eastern art and culture. I was taught and inspired by my grandfather to practice Chinese calligraphy from a young age. With my love and passion for creative arts, I adopt a modern twist to traditional Chinese calligraphy. My work showcases a perfect balance of traditional calligraphy art with modern flare. I hope to continue to spread the passion of Chinese calligraphy as a modern art form. I’m a current board member for the San Francisco Chinese Arts Association.
