Solo Exhibition “Little Love in C Major”
30 June - 9 Sept 2011
Opening Thurs 30 June 2011 5.30-7.30pm
@Sydney Children’s Hospital, Level 3 Sunshine gallery
I always keep music in mind.
My fascination with music and people, provides endless inspiration. When I’m working, time disappears and I get lost in the painting. I feel I become a messenger or interpreter and the message is on a canvas.
When people see and smile at my works, I am very happy. I believe they get the messages.
