I am not at all an ambitious painter; I do it only rarely for myself. However, before I started taking percussion lessons at age 11, my dream was to be a painter.

Here is a picture of my painting when I was 7 year old, dated back in 1991. I found this picture of my painting in May 2016 in my wardrobe in Taiwan, and I was very surprised to see my painting back in that time; it speaks something very essential about me.

This painting won a price in Taiwan, and I believe it was my first price in my life. After this painting I became more and more discouraged that the judges from competitions generally did not believe that the paintings I did actually came from my hand, therefore I had to change my style to make my works more conformed and childish, in order to be convinced it was my own work. Gradually, I lost my own style and the interest in purusing dream as the painter that time.

Then somehow the desire to paint and draw start to visit me again, after almost 20 years of stopping, but it only comes very rarely. The rest of paintings/drawings came from 2011 up to now. They are all done very spontaneously and fast, in one stretch. Somehow I feel I have been a painter for a long time.  I will upload more.
