I have studied at the School of Visual Arts and hold a Master’s degree in Arts Administration from Drexel University. (Before that, I majored in Finance! Still love maths!)
I like to play with different media and explore whimsical imagery, subtle emotions, and an intimate inner world. I love living in the city, watching cute animal memes, playing with girl dress-up toys, and planning with Hobonichi stationery.
I am also the founder and self-publisher of an independent magazine, Pretty Wishes, dedicated to celebrating women artists and emotional expression.
Overall, I am trying very hard to make my life fun - in a challenging way.
