Biography Edit

Yu was born in China and immigrated to Canada with her parents when she was twelve years old. While she was young, her parents began to send her to many art classes to study Chinese watercolor, calligraphy, oil painting, etc., of which these styles can be seen as a major influence in her artwork today.

Academically, she was enrolled in Illustration and Design for her college studies at Dawson College (2001–2004), where she was officially introduced to both 2D and 3D tools, an area in which she currently excels at. Following this, she decided to pursue further university studies in Film Animation at Concordia University (2003–2007).
