Autobiography
My name is Yao Liu, and I'm currently a full-time student studying in the Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary. Going into architecture for my Master's degree after civil engineering is my academic plan at the moment. The purpose of this website is mainly to establish a visual communication with other art fanatics as well as to attract potential clients with various demands. I've experimented with different forms of art in the past years, ranging from Chinese & oil paintings, gouache, and oil pastel to graphic & Flash designs and website constructions. Numerous of my works are available in the portfolio section of this site.

Starting taking Chinese painting lessons when I was six in China, I've now handled many different techniques and developed my unique style. The combination of traditional and contemporary techniques has resulted the strength within brush movements, interactions between ink and colours, and the magnificence of the overall effect. Up to date, there have been more than 40 pieces sold and donated on various occasions. Right now I'm a member of the Calgary Multi-Vision Artists Society, a group composed with a population between 30 and 40 members.

My interests of web design first started when I was taking website construction as an option course in grade 8. Impressed by the abilities to inform and connect people around the world, I decided to further the exploration on my own. My first attempt at building a full site was in 2004, and I've come a long way in my learning journey to the present day. Now I'm currently responsible for designing, constructing, maintaining, and tracking three websites made for different purposes. As a result, such experience has really allowed me to think outside the box and improve problem-solving skills. Because of the integration of graphic design within website development, I've also experienced extensive graphic design process; I was fortunate enough to have my designs on the Calgary YellowPages for the past couple of years, as well as poster designs and a T-shirt design for various social activities.

Planning on going to the Tsinghua University as a participant of the International Exchange program offered by the University of Calgary during the 2010/2011 academic year, I'm excited to further my studies in my major as well as receiving more Chinese painting training in Beijing. I'm looking forward to the upcoming years as the I'm about to go through abundant opportunities in different aspects of my life.
