One of Caroline’s most enjoyable things to do when she travels was to visit the Botanical Gardens around the countries including foreign countries. She was fascinated by the uniqueness of the plants and the landscapes of the gardens from different climates and cultures. She had a great opportunity to visit the Taipei Flora Exposition in Taiwan on December 29th 2010. She especially enjoyed the Global Garden Area featuring exhibits from the Netherlands, Thailand, Japan, China, and Hawaii…etc.

Caroline grew up in Taipei, Taiwan, and grew up again (culturally) in the United States. She has passions for art as well as science. She found her niche in art since she was five years old. Having a love for both art and science; she is an accomplished artist as well as a NASA Engineer and Researcher. Caroline believes that art training can help people to think outside of the box, and any invention comes from unexpected creativity. Therefore, science and art are truly related.

Caroline is one of the most diverse artists. She incorporates Asian cultural into Western art. She paints what ever subject inspires her. She experiments with different types of materials for her artwork. She often discovers new techniques to do her work, and many of those are not described in books. Caroline said that the beauty of Asian painting is the simplicity of its design composition, and the cleverness of its brush strokes. The beauty of Western art comes from the freedom of design and the use of wide range of materials and tools. Her original paintings have been on exhibition throughout many of cities within Southeastern United States. Since 2004, she has selected a theme for her annual art exhibits. This allows her to focus on specific subjects.

Her themes throughout the years have included “East meets West”, “A new look for Asian Art’, “Expressions,”, “Tour around the World”, “Species around Us” and “Dramatic Gardens”
