Description
When I was a child I lived in a house that was surrounded by nature. It had a grove, a river and bamboo fields.
I was able to see many beautiful flowers and various forms of nature go through their transformations.
Such as tadpoles changing into frogs and the left over cocoons of caterpillar after their transformation into butterflies.
I was really looking forward going back and revisiting these sights I had experienced when I was a child.
But now that area that I once knew which was full of nature’s beauty has changed.
It is now filled rows of many houses and busy streets.
Although my life is busy these days I don’t want to forget those memories I had as a child.
The sights and sounds left an everlasting impression on my heart.
Painting is a way for me to document these memories that are precious to me. The canvas is my diary.
My adventure that began when I was a child exploring nature now continues.
Please join me as I share these precious stories and experiences with you though my paintings.
I hope you enjoy them and are touched by them. Thank you.
