Erci Cai, born in Hong Kong and raised in Singapore and Shanghai, currently attends a U.S. boarding school as a fifteen-year-old international student. She started art as a hobby when she was six, but only started to advance to a higher level a few years after, when she devoted more time and effort to her vocation. During this time, she began developing her own thoughts and opinions about the society we inhabit which is expressed in her work. Through the years, she never stopped searching for inspiration and continues expressing herself through her pieces.
