Hello! I'm Daphne Xiao, and thank you for visiting my website!

ABOUT ME
I'm an internal medicine doctor, and most of my working days are spent in the hospital taking caring of patients. I'm married to a fellow internal medicine physician and we have two young daughters.

MY ART STORY
I've always drawn and painted ever since I was young, but unfortunately fell out of it during college as life (and school) got busier. I found my way back to making art during the busy years of residency when I was noticing signs of burn-out. 

I took up the paint brush as a way to "escape" medicine and recharge. As a result, I am drawn to painting quiet and calming florals and landscapes that bring a sense of peace to your home.

MY PROCESS

My art is all about building up layers. I start with layers of molding paste to create texture, followed by thin layers of acrylic paint to create glowing gradients of color. Each painting is then framed in a handmade wood floater frame to create a beautiful and joyful presentation.
