Also, I am most satisfied and happy when I paint, so if my works can bring happiness to others, That's double happiness. ”

Karen grew up in Orange County, California,

Her love for painting began with her parents' advertising agency,

Students who study painting know that,

When parents are exposed to painting, it is really easy to move themselves.

Just some common and everyday landscapes,

No matter the object of any painting,

What Karen likes most is the observation of light and shadow,

"Light changes color, and color shows vitality".

And Kare's learning still life is not as rigid as in class,

Express my understanding of beauty through sketching,

Even if it's just a simple still life,

Every picture can feel the amazing simple beauty from the whole to the details!

Painting is her instinctive hobby from the heart,

The quantitative creation of painting is slowly improving Karen's most simple painting techniques,

Like a candidate who is new to Tao,

It is the infinite love of a master's grandmother after she suddenly changed careers.

It is also a painter's persistent expression of life.
