I knew I bought all this origami paper for a reason.

My priorities are so skewed right now that my watercolor sketches need to all be the same color palette.

Painting from the glamorous studio of a bedroom floor. A New York City based Van Gogh groupie with a soft spot for the Impressionists (yes, they are the boy bands of the art world).

Instructed in traditional Chinese watercolor training, but an autodidact in acrylic painting.

Professionally painting for 6 years. Personally painting since a time that can't be described without using a cliche. Currently available for freelance work. Like, super freelance. Like the "I've-designed-anything-from-tattoos-to-album covers-to-logos-to-boxing-gloves" sort of freelance.

They say that art is the intersection of absolute narcissism and crippling self-doubt. During the process of putting brushstroke to canvas, I have loved every painting as if it were my child. The moment it dries, I am dissatisfied and wish to keep growing.
