HI, I'M MING!

I’m a self-taught artist, dog lover and mom. After 5 years of running my pet portrait business, I decided to pivot my focus into art licensing in 2025 to make my dream of seeing my art on products a reality. 

The journey has been challenging but also incredibly exciting. My biggest win (so far)? Securing one of my dream clients; TJX.

I've learnt (and still learn) so much from other artists who generously share their knowledge on the industry. This newsletter is my way of paying it forward.

I'm not an expert or guru. I'm just another artist figuring stuff out and sharing what I’m learning along the way.
