Lih Qun is a cross-disciplinary artist who sculpts her work around a passion for the beauty she sees in the world around her. She channels her fascination for painting, colour, textile manipulation, art finishing and the human body into the costumes and wearable art that she creates. And her love for the expressive and the intangible into her music.

Lih Qun is a classically trained cellist, having trained at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and the Victorian College of the Arts and has now been playing the cello for twenty-three years.

She has previously recorded and performed on a variety of music spanning: pop ballad, rock, hip-hop, contemporary classical, live improvisation and electronic music. Currently, she incorporates the use of a loop station or Ableton Live programs for live performances for theatre and stage, choosing to collaborate with dancers and circus performers.
Lih Qun was trained as a period costume designer and technician at Swinburne University in Melbourne . Specialising in Circus costume, Lih has worked more recently as an artfinisher – specialising in airbrush and dyeing- in the Costume props department for Cirque du Soleil, the National Institute of Circus Arts, and CIRCA.

As a visual artist Lih is particularly fascinated with air brush art. Her current work explores the intertwining of human made environment and natural environmental patterns of growth, reflecting the veracity of wild Asian tropical jungle: the bold chaos of vines and roots that signals a ferocious fertility and tenacity of life. Reflected in skewed metal heaps and junkyards, the industrialisation and spread of urban life shows this same furious strive for growth and survival. This growth that is out of balance and at odds with the rest of ecological life.

Lih Qun endeavours to use her professionally-honed artistic abilities to remind her audiences, and herself, of the magic of childish make- believe.
