ABOUT
ewse is a Chinese-American lesbian painter and poet. She was born in New York City to immigrant parents and currently lives in Austin, TX. She is part of the Something Cool Studios artist collective and has shown her work in group exhibitions at Propaganda HQ and Something Cool Studios.
Mewse uses an evocative combination of poetry and multimedia materials to examine and play with what lights her creativity – capturing the beauty of women, both within and without, through a dark, romantic lens. Having lived in both China and the US, she brings the breadth of her life experience with vastly different cultures and languages to explore the varying facets of sapphic love and the female experience.

PORTFOLIO
where the sweetness lies
watercolor on paper
9" x 12"
her scars are the same color
as her nails
and i wonder what they taste
in ecstacy,
dead skin and
aftershave, bath water creeping
across the tile floor like a silent dream
sometimes i wish my reflection
were a screenplay of the fantasized me
the microfilms made by passerby
a meandering speculation of
where the sweetness lies
between a pair of
red rights that stretch like skin
shifting somewhere between blood
and blush
on a schoolgirl's cheek
a painting inspired by a poem of mine...
