Lan Fang's art draws inspiration from the natural landscapes of Ontario and British Columbia, Canada. She advocates for reverence and care for nature and the Earth. Every life is precious, full of beauty and resilience; we need to protect them and avoid harming them as much as possible to maintain harmony between humanity and the planet. She always makes time to connect with nature, engaging in spiritual dialogue with trees, rivers, mountains, and birds. She strives to feel them—the warm sunshine, the birdsong, and the babbling brook are all points of reference that evoke immense joy in her. She draws creativity and spiritual resonance from nature, exploring the reflection of light and shadow in meticulous details...
