Inthe beginning, Dengcleverly combined oil painting and embroidery,following whichshe moved on to mixed media paintings on Hakka printed cloth.

Deng was born in Dongzhu, Hualian - formerly known asTourenpu, and once called Zhutian - to which Deng’s Hakkanese grandfather had walked from Zhudong, Hsinchu. Deng’s mother came from Majialu, a hunting areawhich the SirayaPlain Tribe in Dazhuanghad been given by the aboriginalPuyuma Tribe in 1862,along with cattle and pigs. Dazhuang, now Dongli, is a village formed by the Siraya people who moved to eastern Taiwan to evade the Chinese. Many years ago, Dengconsulted the household register transcript back to the Japanese-occupationperiod, and found her maternal family was all marked as ‘Shou’, a symbolic characterrepresenting Taiwanese plains aborigines. This finding embeddeditself intoDeng’s mind and hasinspired herto discoverwhere her roots lie.
