A Society of Illustrators Gold Medalist, Liu works with fluid linework and abstraction to examine ideas of presence, transformation, and the unseen dimensions of human experience.Her live drawing practice integrates projected photography with real-time mark-making, creating images that gradually obscure and reveal participants’ forms. Through this process, Liu investigates the shifting boundary between the visible and the interior, inviting audiences to witness “inner states” as evolving, communal artworks.Liu’s work has been presented in public settings in New York’s Chinatown, in experimental workshops with graduate students at FIT (SUNY), and in cross-disciplinary collaborations that bridge contemporary art with wellness and community engagement. Through Armat, she continues to expand visual ritual as a participatory art form rooted in civic, cultural, and contemplative spaces.About Michel PascalMichel Pascal is an internationally respected vocalist, author, and meditation teacher whose work combines contemplative practice with the immersive power of sound. For nearly a decade, he has performed annual concerts at Carnegie Hall, where his distinctive style, often described as “The Medicine Voice”, creates resonant environments for collective calm. His programs have been presented at the Rubin Museum of Art, the NYC Mayor’s Office and other cultural and civic institutions.Pascal trained for fifteen years in Himalayan contemplative traditions, developing voice-based techniques centered on grounding, visualization, and emotional steadiness. He is the author of more than twenty books on stress reduction and mindfulness.His trauma-informed programs for veterans, first responders, and justice-involved communities, including collaborations with the Amity Foundation, have been recognized for their measurable impact on stress and well-being. Across performance, wellness, and public settings, Pascal’s voice functions as a stabilizing instrument for collective presence. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/cab18f70-ddc7-11f0-b203-696c12d5d348-rimg-w1200-h377-dcffde59-gmir.jpg Not a MOCA member yet?
