VIEW IN MY ROOM
In the Italian countryside, about a three-hour drive from Rome, lies this beautiful piece of planet Earth. Our good friends James and Claudia bought an old farm house and the surrounding land, dotted with olive trees, some 12 years ago. A few years ago, they packed up their lives in the Netherlands and moved to Italy for good. When we visited them this spring, the house was undergoing renovation. You had to use your imagination a little, but we could see their dream house taking shape. It was very special to witness this long-running project! Because of the renovation, we stayed further up the hill in a neighbouring house. The views were just stunningly beautiful. Their land is shaped a little like a sombrero. The house is on a little hill, but the hill is itself in a valley. So first you go down into the valley, then you go up again to the house. We arrived for perfect weather - clear skies, sun, pleasantly warm and not too hot - and just after a rainy period. Everything was growing like mad: grass up to your knees, wild flowers, poppies. I spent an entire morning sitting on the top of the hill drawing the scene in pencil. When we returned home, I turned my pencil drawing into this painting.

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.
