I started to paint when I graduated from high school. I came across a large wooden board that was meant for the trash, put it on my bedroom floor and just went to work.

Such is life. Glad to be able to share it with you all and my most favorite art, the art of Traditional Chinese Medicine.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
