BIO:
I started painting two years ago.
My daughter, who had finished school, told me that she was throwing away the acrylic paints she had used in art class, so I felt it was a waste and decided to try painting. I had been an office worker for almost 30 years, had settled down to raise my children a bit, and loved to appreciate painting, so I decided to try painting myself. I started to memorize them in images on Instagram because I wanted to do so. At night, after all the work was done, the time I spent quietly painting the moon and flowers as I thought of them was bliss for me. When I paint, I don't always decide what I want to paint. First, I layer the col-ors and think about what it will look like. The accidental layering of colors takes me to a fantastic world, and before I know it, something appears.

ARTISTIC STATEMENT:
