I was born in the south part
of China called Canton, not far from Hong Kong. I guess that's where
most of the delicious food like Chow Mein, Won Ton Soup and Chop Suey
originate from. When I was only five years old my family moved to Hong
Kong.
One day I picked up a pencil
and started drawing. My Mother saw my drawing and told me I was very
artistic. Well, it could be that I happened to be an Aries, and Aries
tend to have more of an artistic inclination. From that day onward,
I have continued drawing. I have always admired good painting by famous
Artists like Norman Rockwell and Thomas Kinkade.
I have taken classes in Commercial
Art, Life Drawing and Acrylic Painting at De Anza College. I had a very
good teacher who showed me many different styles and techniques, using
different media and different methods. It was a great learning experience
for me to explore the world of painting. I started with my first painting
and I really enjoyed it, which led to more painting. The more I paint,
the more intensified my painting becomes. I have used mostly watercolor
and some mixture with Acrylic. I like watercolor because it gives a
sort of flowing effect such as Water and the Sky. I would like to try
working with oil and canvas later on. I
enjoyed the positive and negative feedback from people who see my paintings
and give me their enthusiastic opinions. It helps me to absorb and create
ideas and apply them to my work.
