Hey there,
I'm Ashley Cheng-Jie Liu, originally from Taipei, Taiwan, and now living my artistic dream in the bustling heart of New York. I'm a passionate motion graphics artist and a recent graduate from the MFA in Computer Arts program at the School of Visual Arts.
One thing that truly drives me is creating art that whispers subtle yet powerful stories. My work is an amalgamation of inspiration, imagination, and the beauty found in the everyday. With a Fine Art background, my canvas can span from traditional animation techniques to the awe-inspiring virtual worlds of 3D design.
When I'm not diving into the world of animations, you might find me driving around, from cityscapes to cozy suburban spots, exploring the glorious colors in ordinary moments.
I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to collaborate, bring unique perspectives together, and create something truly special!
