Do you have a specific idea in mind, or are you open to brainstorming together? With your guidance, I’ll design a one-of-a-kind piece of Chinese art tailored to your space—something that will bring joy every time you see it.

A Thoughtful Gift for Any Occasion

Looking for the perfect gift to celebrate a new home, birth, or special anniversary? I can suggest the ideal imagery or wording for Chinese calligraphy that will make the occasion memorable.

Inspiration for Traditional Chinese Art

  • Plum Blossom: A symbol of perseverance and renewal.
  • Orchid: Represents virtue and purity, embodying the spirit of spring.
  • Bamboo: Signifies strength and tranquility.
  • Chrysanthemum: An autumn flower, symbolizing moral strength and resilience.
  • Peonies, Wisteria, and Magnolia: Ideal for celebrating feminine beauty.
  • Peach or Lotus Flowers with Mandarin Birds, or Carp Fish: Perfect symbols for marriage or anniversaries.
  • Pine Tree: Embodies self-discipline and fortitude, often paired with a white crane to symbolise longevity.

Celebrate Milestones with Art

For a unique 60th birthday gift, consider a painting or calligraphy that reflects the completion of a full lunar calendar cycle. Popular choices include images of pine trees, peach trees, or cranes, which symbolize well-wishes and longevity.
