As the founder of Canvas of The Heart, I am passionate about creating a space where creativity becomes a vessel for healing, connection, and hope. My name is Qiao - a jewellery designer and artist whose journey through illness reshaped how I view the role of art in our lives. For me, creativity is not just a form of expression - it is a form of survival, of rediscovering light in moments of darkness. 

​

My collection, "Behind", was born from the feeling of being left behind during recover. Inspired by the flow of fish tails and the softness of blooming flowers, the works reflect the emotional contrast between struggle and strength. Each painting is layered with texture and meaning, embracing the imperfect beauty found along the healing path. 

​

With Canvas of The Heart, I hope to give others the same space to create, share, and be supported - whether they are artists navigating hardship or kind souls simply wanting to lift others up. Through storytelling, virtual exhibitions, and charitable giving, we are building a community that transforms pain into purpose and reminds us all: art has the power to heal, and everyone can be part of that journey.
