I’m helping friends out who stepped up to provide emergency foster care to these two doggos. Please get the word out to your community that these dogs need their forever home. If anyone is interested in adopting them, feel free to DM me and I will facilitate the connections. Both dogs are available and grew up in a family with little children.
I’m showing in Escondido now! Check out two of my most calming and serene paintings at @distinction_gallery
I have the honor of participating in the @thumbprintgallery / @distinction_gallery partnered exhibition “Bloodlines and Brushstrokes”. I am proud to be celebrating my Asian heritage in this amazing AAPI Heritage Month exhibition.
Art collectors, both of my darlings are 12x12” and I built the frames myself. Price include the frame. Details are listed on my w3bs!te.

thumbprintgallery Bloodlines & Brushstrokes celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander
Heritage Month through a dynamic group exhibition highlighting the voices, stories, and creative perspectives of a diverse roster of AAPI artists. This marks the first chapter of a two-part exhibition, followed by a second opening in Escondido in collaboration with @distinction_gallery on Saturday, May 9th from 6-10pm. Timed with each gallery's monthly art walk, both receptions invite the community to experience contemporary works that honor heritage, identity, and artistic expression across two connected exhibitions.

Exciting news: My original painting “Gentle Steps” is accepted in the @SDWS “Paradise on Earth” show. I love this painting — it feels deeply emotional and delicate. I’m grateful to juror Susan Keith for selecting it for this exhibition. Hope you will come to see it from March 28-April 25th. The First Friday Reception is on April 3 from 5-8pm. This framed painting is available for purchase. (I built the frame myself.)
My original mixed media piece “Nanaji’s Garden” will be a part of the Viva Art exhibition at @eastcountyartassociation from April 1-25. Hope to see you at the reception on April 10, 5-7pm. Congrats to all the artists participating in this exhibit!

Common Ground closed with a wall full of red dots. 🔴 Thank you, San Diego!
We’re grateful to everyone who came out to experience the exhibition. The gallery was filled with thoughtful conversations, strong community support, and an incredible response to the work.
Thirteen paintings found new homes during the run of the exhibition, and we’re especially thankful to the collectors who chose to add these pieces to their collections. Your support allows artists to continue creating and sharing new work.
