Luz Qi: From the City to the Countryside – Finding My Creative Path

Hi there! I’m Luz Qi, a creator and storyteller living in the peaceful countryside of the UK. I’d love to share with you the story behind Luz Qi, a creative journey that grew from the tranquility of rural life—where family, nature, and creativity meet and inspire each other.

From City Life to the Countryside

Before moving to the countryside, I lived in the city, surrounded by the constant buzz and rush of urban life. I loved creating art, but something always felt missing. It was as if I were disconnected from the true source of my inspiration—nature. I longed for a simpler, more peaceful life that would give me the space to nurture my creativity in a way that felt true to my heart.

Moving to the UK countryside was a big change, but in hindsight, it was exactly what I needed. Surrounded by open fields, wildflowers, and towering trees, I discovered a sense of calm I had never known before. The slow rhythm of life here—the chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves, and the occasional passing train—opened up a whole new world of creative possibilities. This peaceful environment is where Luz Qi truly began.

Family: The Heart of My Creative Journey

At the core of Luz Qi is my family—my two daughters, Rose Mary and Sugar, and my wonderful husband. They’re not just my biggest supporters; they are the inspiration behind everything I create. The moments we share in the countryside, our laughter, and the love that fills our home are the foundation of my work.

Rose Mary: A Young Creator Who Inspires Me

My eldest daughter, Rose Mary, is full of imagination. From a young age, she was drawn to art—whether it was designing intricate papercuts or experimenting with colors and shapes. Her natural curiosity and enthusiasm for creating inspire me every day. Watching her create with such joy reminds me of how boundless creativity can be and how important it is to embrace it.

What I love most is that Rose Mary doesn’t just create for fun—her work tells stories and expresses emotions. She is learning to communicate through art in a way that feels deeply personal and authentic. In her, I see the potential for every child to connect with their creativity in a meaningful way. She has taught me to cherish the simplicity and joy of creating, purely for the love of it.

Sugar: Seeing the World Through Her Eyes

My younger daughter, Sugar, has a magical way of seeing the world. Her curiosity and wonder make me pause and look at things with fresh eyes. Whether she’s marveling at the patterns of leaves or creating imaginary adventures for her stuffed animals, Sugar’s perspective brings a sense of wonder to everything she touches.

Through my work, I aim to capture that sense of childhood wonder—the innocence, the joy, and the excitement of discovery. Sugar has taught me to slow down, appreciate the little moments, and see beauty in the everyday.

My Husband: The Quiet Strength Behind My Art

While my husband doesn’t create with me directly, his support is vital to everything I do. He is the steady, calm presence that holds our family together, providing the foundation I need to pursue my creativity. Whether he’s helping me set up a photoshoot or offering words of encouragement during late-night creative sessions, I couldn’t do this without him.

Together, we’ve built a life where creativity is at the heart of our family. We encourage our children to express themselves freely, and that balance allows me to pour my heart into Luz Qi—a reflection of our shared experiences as a family.

Nature: The Unseen Muse That Inspires My Art

Living in the countryside has completely transformed the way I see the world. The beauty of nature here is ever-changing—each season brings something new to explore. From the wildflowers of spring to the golden leaves of autumn and the soft snowfall of winter, nature is a constant source of inspiration.

Every morning, I take walks with my dog, Tiantang, along quiet country lanes. The frost crunches beneath our feet, and the crisp air fills my lungs. These walks are more than just time outdoors—they are moments of reflection that help me connect with nature and find inspiration for my next project. Whether it’s the intricate patterns of tree branches against the sky or the way sunlight dances through the mist, nature always offers new ideas.

There is a stillness in the countryside that allows me to think clearly and tap into a deeper level of creativity. The vast open spaces, the soft sounds of nature, and the ever-changing seasons influence the themes in my work. I strive to bring that same sense of calm and connection to the natural world into my art, hoping to share the peace and beauty that fill my days here.

Luz Qi: A Celebration of Family, Nature, and Creativity

At Luz Qi, we create works that celebrate family life and the beauty of nature. Our creations span multiple mediums—paintings, children’s books, music, and more—all designed to inspire, heal, and connect people through shared stories and experiences.

Paintings: Capturing Fleeting Moments

The paintings I create reflect the peaceful landscapes of the countryside, the quiet moments spent with my family, and the love that fills our home. I focus on capturing simple yet profound moments—the soft glow of a sunset, the warmth of a shared meal, or the tenderness between a mother and child. Through my art, I hope to evoke emotions and create pieces that resonate with others on a deep, personal level.

Storytelling: Connecting Through Words

Storytelling is another way I connect with my family and the world. My children’s books, inspired by my own experiences, explore themes of love, loss, hope, and resilience. Each story is a gift to my children and a tribute to the power of family. I hope that these stories will touch hearts and spark meaningful conversations for years to come.

Music: The Sound of Emotion

Music plays an integral role in my creative journey. I compose melodies that complement my artwork, adding an extra layer of emotion and depth to the stories I tell. Whether it’s a comforting lullaby or a lively tune, music helps me express feelings that words alone cannot capture. It is another way to connect with others and share the emotions that fill my heart.

Our Mission: Inspiring Families to Create Together

At Luz Qi, our mission is simple: to inspire families to embrace creativity in all aspects of their lives. We believe that creativity isn’t just for artists—it’s for everyone. Through art, we can strengthen our bonds with loved ones, explore new ideas, and create lasting memories.

I invite you to join me on this journey—to celebrate creativity, cherish family moments, and find beauty in the everyday. Together, let’s create something meaningful.
