Summary

I am a newly graduated artist. During my studies, I participated in several projects and accumulated professional knowledge and detailed practical experience. The "Open June" graduation exhibition at Lu Zhongli Art Museum was particularly significant, as it taught me a lot about exhibition procedures. Meeting Italian artists enhanced my ability to plan events and my fluency in English. The gallery internship during my time in the United States also made me more international. Besides, the most important thing is that I have a passionate and proactive heart. I am very eager to progress and desire to acquire more knowledge. This idea has been constantly driving me to strive for better opportunities.
