Lin's work is well known for his
unique combination of the eastern artistic themes and the
western expressive instruments. With a strong training in
eastern painting and art history, Lin often goes to his
roots to look for his artistic inspiration. Lin's personal
beliefs of and strong passions for the arts are clearly
illustrated in all his works. There are two distinct
characteristics of Lin that differentiate his from others.
First, instead of capturing one creative inspiration with
single piece of painting, he often savors that inspiration
and prefers to create a series of painting on the same
theme or topic. To him, the latter presents a more
artistically challenging and testing task. Secondly, he
likes having the opportunity to explore a variety of
styles, which adds diversity and richness to his work.
Lin taught at Jinan University in China, Foothill College
and Pensacola Junior College in the United States. His
paintings are found in many private and corporation
collections in the United States and abroad. He has had
more than ten solo shows and many group shows in U.S. and
abroad. He won many awards in art shows.
