Artist Statement
I love color. I have always been interested and inspired by Pop Art, graphic design, and fashion. This probably came from my strong memory of the golden era of 60’s and 70’s culture when I was young. I have been doing ceramics, sewing, jewelry making, and other art forms, but painting is my main concentration because I can experience combinations of colors that inspire me to best expresses my feelings.
Please wait, it may take sometime ...
