Stephen was born in Houston, Texas to immigrant Chinese parents. In 1992, diagnosed with Asperger's and a severe language deficiency, he began his journey toward earning his special education diploma. Stephen graduated from Elsik High School in 2005. (Go Rams!)
Despite his difficulty with typical modes of human interaction and communication, Stephen is highly expressive through his art, which ranges from oils and acrylics to ceramics and digital sketches. He works with great attention to detail and has an especially sharp eye for color.
Stephen studied art with Frank Zhang. He also took traditional Chinese zither lessons with Changlu Wu.
