nice to meet you

Hello, I'm Chenchu

My name is Chenchu, I often use “CC” as a simple option when ordering at a cafe :D Welcome to my art journal! I am a digital marketer by day and a water color artist at heart. I use minimal tools to capture special moments from cafés and everyday wonders to places far away in my travels.

If you share the same value, let's connect and draw together!

“In the age of AI, paper and pen feel even more genuine to me. They remind me to stay present, create slowly, and keep the process human.”
