Although mixed media forms of art are nothing new anymore, there is something quite unique about Lin Mei's work that makes it hard to stop looking at. Forget about the vibrant colors and trippy scenes for now. Instead, focus on the cohesive nature of each of Lin Mei's collages. Far from being a mess of images superimposed on one another, these artworks can almost tell a clear albeit surreal story.
Currently based in Sydney, Australia, Lin Mei received her Masters in Animation and Interactive Media as well as her graduate diploma in Communication Design in Melbourne. Originally working as an exhibition designer and editor, Lin Mei made the switch to illustration, graphic design, drawing, web-based design, animation and photography in order to pursue her passion for visual arts.
