Her dedicated palette exposes the sugar-coated modern ignorance and relentlessness in all beings. Yet collision with egg yolk to bring back subtle similarities of just being alive.

Can you tell us about the moment you decided to pursue a career as an artist? 

I think I realized I was going to be an artist when I was 10 years old.  My elementary school teacher asked me to draw a huge mural that stretched across the back of the classroom on a roll of white paper a meter wide on what we were studying in history about WWII. It took me several weeks to draw, and I was totally involved in it and inspired by the sense of accomplishment it gave me when done.
