When I was younger, I never attended any art academies to learn how to paint or draw, mainly because I never really had an interest in the arts. It was not until I got married and had children that I suddenly decided to take up painting. In 2008, I enrolled in an arts academy program at the Hyundai Department Store Culture Center. At what I then considered to be the relatively late age of 40, this was my first ever experience in learning how to paint.

Where do you get your inspiration from?
I’ve had the pleasure to live and visit several countries throughout my life. I usually love to stay somewhere calm with a beautiful setting that inspires me to paint. So often while at home, I explore through my mind and the juxtaposition of my memories and feelings help to unveil the concepts for my art pieces. I would paint instinctively without detailed sketches and only rely on pure intuitions.
