Shen is an artist who was born and raised in China. The country's long history and rich cultural heritage, especially the intricate beauty of traditional blue-and-white porcelain, gave her ideas for her work. Her series of vessels try to honor this long-standing tradition while also showing off her creative style.

Each piece in this series is a unique work of art, carefully made and decorated with intricate drawings inspired by her ongoing character "Mon Mon." These illustrations give off the feeling of stories being passed down through generations; instead of passing folktales, mouth by mouse, person by person, she tells a story and passes on the stories ceramic by ceramic.
