VIEW IN MY ROOM
In one of my sessions with my therapist, I talked about my worries of getting old and changing appearances: wrinkles appearing and age moles. How sometimes I felt not beautiful at all. She said something that was very inspiring: “Right now, in this very moment, I’m the best of me, the most beautiful me.” I really wanted to make something out of this idea. A painting that I could look at every day and remind myself. Before I leave the house, in the dressing room, I would see the painting and it would tell me: “You’re the best of you.” It’s spring and the time of strawberries. I see them every time when I go grocery shopping. There’s an interesting thing about strawberries here in the Netherlands: They’re all beautiful. In San Diego, I remember having strawberries that came in all sorts of shapes. Some were huge. Some were smaller. They were never identical. I tried looking for these strawberries here in the Netherlands, but they don’t seem to exist. I even told my husband explicitly to go the supermarket and buy me the box of strawberries that were the most oddly shaped. He couldn’t find any. But strawberries are just strawberries. Maybe you think they’re shaped beautifully, maybe not. But when you bite down, they’re sweet and juicy inside. At the moment when they’re harvested, they’re the best of them. That’s the feeling I wanted to talk about. I hope it reminds you, just like it reminds me, that right now, in this very moment, you’re also the best of you.

Netherlands
My art wants to put a smile on your face. All of my paintings tell a story, and every story has a little twist. You'll have to look closely: details matter to me. I was born and grew up in Taiwan, and moved to the Netherlands in 2014, where I am again living now after a 2-year stint in San Diego. You can check out my Instagram for a mix of work in progress and snapshots of my life with husband and cat.
