Artist Statement:
I’ve started to play with colors and papers when I was a little girl, just 4 or 5 years old.
Since there, my life’s been full of joy and happiness … My art works are inspired by the beauty of nature and people, which I try to reflect them into my paintings.
It helps me to see life better, even overcome some difficult periods in my life. Like Zen practicing, when I’m painting, I almost forget everything around me, even myself… sorrow, happiness, worry …
