Li Huai presents a varied array of work for her solo show "You Fascinate Me!"

"Going places and seeing things is always stimulating, intimidating and rewarding – whenever one does it. It makes me aware of myself and forces me to learn from others on various meaningful, complicated and playful levels. The mechanisms of connection, disconnection, reflection and reconfirmation are intensely intimate and fascinating. Wandering around recharges my world and makes me want more." – H

Li Huai received her BA in fine arts at the Beijing Film Academy and her MFA in art at the California Institute of the Arts. She... is on the faculty of the Visual Arts Department at the University of California, San Diego. Li Huai’s specialties include installation, painting, drawing, multi-media, and Chinese calligraphy.
