Sunnie holds degrees in Art and History from Yale University, where Sunnie was the Co-Head of the Asian American Cultural Center.

More importantly, all of Sunnie's work is informed by lived experiences and organizing. Born in rural China but raised in Houston, Sunnie is a proud immigrant and child of Chinatown workers.

Sunnie's artistic practice is rooted in community care, radical love, and collective liberation. By exposing power imbalances while dreaming up alternative realities, Sunnie rewrites history to center marginalized peoples, reimagines better futures for all, and invites audiences to reevaluate their positionalities in both reinforcing and dismantling the status quo.
