Experienced with painting mediums and mixed mediums such as wood, wax, clay, bronze, silicon, and jewelry. etc. Spending equal time of her life in both eastern and western cultures as an interdisciplinary artist, Zhen was torn by the cultural difference, and the emotional journey she went through has given her inspiration of cultural folklore, feminity, and vulnerability of emotions for her works.
