About
hello,
I'm Yuqing Zhu,

26 years old,
based in Chicago,
training to become a neuroscientist
and practicing at being an artist.
I come to you from Southern Mongolia
and Chinatowns across America.

I am open for commissions!
I am most happy doing portraits (of you or me) with surreal and cultural components, especially (but not exclusively) if your heritages overlap with mine.
I price commissions by the hour. I offer discounts for trans/gnc folks, BIPOC, and on projects that are personally aligned.
Example commissioned works:
family portrait: x
diptych of myself: x
album cover: x
Please reach out and let's create something gorgeous together!
