Ina Xi brings dreams to life with her watercolor paintings.
As a Pacific Northwest painter and visual artist, Ina's painting style spans a wide spectrum, encompassing seascapes, cityscapes, landscapes, and architecture. She possesses a unique ability to portray complex scenes, weaving together multiple elements with a harmonious touch. But she presents all these scenes to the viewer through the dreaminess of watercolors.
A Shanghai native, Ina initially earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film Study from Tongji University, then went on to study digital media at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, earning her Master of Fine Art. After ten years working in the San Francisco Bay Area, she moved to the Northwest and currently resides in picturesque Port Orchard, Washington.
Her journey has been a testament to her multicultural experiences and artistic evolution. Having traversed many global cities during her adult life, she brings a rich tapestry of urban influences to her watercolor paintings.
