I’ve visited Vienna four times and each time the experience gets better. A city rich in culture it is the venue for 1,500 classical music events a year. And what can I say about its over 100 museums, live theatres and opera houses other then fantastic.

Chaos of Colour
For as long as I can remember, I have been absolutely enamoured by colours. I adore the spectrum of hues, the tints and shades of each and the vibrancy, as well as intensity, they can possess. After years of careful editing and much experimentation, my attraction to colour has blossomed into a style I’ve titled, Chaos Of Colour.
I Left Elvis at the Cottage
I was blow drying my hair hoping not to pop a fuse. The light was terrible. Over the toilet, a yellowed note listed what not to flush into the septic system. I turned off the blow-dryer. I decided that I was done with it, done with hair.
Visual Metaphors of Urban Strata
I see myself as an observer of a city’s different identities that have been built and rebuilt over the centuries. Decay, erasure, reconstruction and building take place at the same time: I usually use painting to explore the city’s evolution and add my own experience to the context.

Shifting my eyes, suddenly all I saw was crow – a very large one, perched atop a tree across the street.
I forgot my class for a little while.
Defining Beauty
The beauty industry is a multi-billion dollar business. By setting the trends of beauty, it shapes and defines the culture of beauty itself. While I was growing up looking at magazines, movies, TV shows and ads, beauty was identified as someone who had big eyes, was tall, blond and Caucasian. So how does a dark haired, slanty eyed, not-so-tall Asian even compare in the beauty market?!?
The Magic of the Magdalens-Havre-sur-Mer
Lose yourself on an exotic island where the sound of the surf lulls you to sleep, ocean breezes cleanse the senses and worries and cares seem a million miles away.
