After graduating college I went straight into a career as a freelance illustrator and have been drawing pictures ever since. My work lacked sophistication and my speed was slow, but I was fortunate enough to be living in favorable times and to have a supportive network, which enabled me to get where I am today. I am thankful that I had the endurance to continue developing my love of painting and handicrafts. Looking back, I myself am amazed at the variety of different styles of painting I experimented with over the years. I hope you enjoy my exhibition.
