Spring Bouquet (2020) Painting by Ling Strube

I was born and raised in China. At a very young age, I developed a deep passion for art, particularly painting. I received formal training at an art school for three years and graduated in China. Later, I relocated to Australia, where I initially worked as a street portrait artist. Subsequently, I secured a position as an illustrator at Ross Perrett Golf Course companies in Australia. After a few years, I enrolled at the Eastern College of TAFE in Melbourne, Australia, completing a two-year Associate Diploma of Arts program that significantly expanded my knowledge in the realm of art. Following my studies, I assumed the role of a Graphic Designer at Trellian Pty. Ltd. in Melbourne. In the year 2000, I permanently relocated to Germany.

Over the past two decades, my focus has primarily been on painting and drawing. I embarked on solo exhibitions as well as participated in group exhibits within local venues, garnering the interest of numerous clients. My artistic creations draw significant inspiration from distinguished artists of the 19th century, notably Claude Monet, William Adolph Bouguereau, and Nicolai Fechin. Additionally, contemporary artists of renown such as Richard Schmid, David Leffel, and Sherrie McGraw have served as continued sources of inspiration for me.
