As a little child, she loved to draw. When she grew up, she found camera is the best tool to express herself, much like a brushis to a painter. Jie finds inspiration from things around her -- a tomato, a berry, a flower. She loves to put them in a composition that reflects her vision. Jie Deng grew up in Chengdu, a beautiful city in the Southwest of China. She has lived in the United States for eight years, and currently lives in Kennett Square with her husband and daughter.
