The world that I live in is uncertain, unstable, but I have to keep going and find something that can comfort me. This work is talking about the uncomfortable moment, but hopeful future, at the same time. This piece is made by layering Korean mulberry paper on a wooden panel with homemade flour glue. Then I apply a glue base. Next, I draw my sketch, and trace it on the paper. Then I paint three or four layers of a background color using pigments and glue base. Lastly, I paint the animal subject in fine detail, which takes most of time. The painting is on a cradled wood panel with finished edges. It comes ready to hang.

I wanted to capture the feeling you get when you look out onto a breathtaking view. That moment when everything is bursting with life and vibrancy and you feel connected to the Earth. I also enjoy the reflection of the mountain which makes a mirror image. I have updated the landscape idea a bit with some metallic silver and gold drawing overlapping the acrylic paint. I have also used a few collaged photos of flowers...
