Why is your artist name ‘thereforesheis’?
When I first started sharing my art on Instagram I had several different names, I was also struggling to find a distinct style. But I’ve always been interested in many things and I guess that shows in my art, at times I feel the need to express myself with colour in a more free and abstract manner, other times I like creating a detailed illustration. Whatever I create is in a sense what I am. Everything you see here on my website is an extension of me. I create therefore I am. My sister Leah was the one who came up with ‘thereforesheis’ inspired by René Descartes’ “I think, therefore I am”.

Can I get your work tattooed?
You can choose artwork from my Instagram gallery or here on my website. I kindly ask you to contact me with a picture/screenshot of your preferred artwork, so I can send you written permission to use it as a tattoo, which you can show your tattoo artist. The cost for this is £23
Therefore she is retains all original rights to the image. The image may not be used by any other party and you may only print it as a tattoo template, but you may not sell it, modify it, make copies or use it for any other purposes without written permission from me.

Where are you based?
I am currently based in the UK. I was born in Taipei, Taiwan. Grew up in Hong Kong and lived briefly in Sweden before moving to England with my husband.
Growing up a mixed-race and a third culture kid has definitely contributed to my creativity and belief that there are far more things that connects us than separates us.
Hell yes, I do! If you want an original and unique artwork made just for you please do get in touch with me by e-mail and I’ll get back to you asap. I create illustrations for various uses, such as apparel, logo designs, tattoo designs, etc.

What are limited edition prints?
Certain artworks that I have a deep personal attachment to will only be produced in limited quantities. So once these are sold they won’t be made available again, unless it’s for a special celebratory event/date. They are hand-signed and numbered on the back of the prints. Special print, depending on the design may also be hand embellished. Limited edition prints are also printed on finer Hahnemuhle Bamboo 290gsm natural resource-saving paper.
Limited edition prints do not come framed.
