about the artist

'Warmth, and the beauty of its strength, so overwhelming   that it makes me feel fragile...,
fragile because 'warmth' knows sorrow and pain...   But there, I see another world, where the veil is uncovered and the true colors are revealed. I draw (pictures) to be within it.'

    'Ever since I was a little girl, I'd dreamt of exploring the world, meeting new friends and seeing/hearing/feeling 'more.' �@When I started making this childhood dream of mine come true, 'art' came very naturally to me...'
