Gurmehar Singh and her mother talk about one of her paintings at her home in north China's Tianjin, Nov. 22, 2022.

In 1999, Gurmehar Singh moved with her parents from India to China at the age of five. Over the next 23 years, she has lived and studied in Chinese cities such as Beijing and Tianjin.

As a great fan of painting, Singh would visit museums and art galleries, exposing herself to many techniques of traditional Chinese painting whenever had time. Singh now runs her own art studio and teaches painting in Tianjin. The years in China have deeply affected the style of Singh's paintings. (Xinhua/Sun Fanyue)
