About ARTIST - Inkgo

Inkgo, named after the plant Ginkgo, a tree that is believed will lead people to a blessed life. She is an artist specializing in Leaf Arts. Everything started in the summer of 2013 when she picked up a piece of Ginkgo leaf. Immediately, she was drawn to the colours and variation of the leaf which was nurtured by mother earth. Since then, she has never stopped her Leaf Art.
林嘉裕是樹葉畫藝術家。2013年夏天，從她拾起地上的一片銀杏葉開始，便沉醉著這些被大地賦予色彩和生命變化的樹葉，從此離不開樹葉畫創作。
