Panopticon Gallery’s Online Exhibit
I was not one of the five selected artists for Panopticon Gallery’s First Look 2022 physical gallery show, but I am very honored that my image “Apostemon Sweat Bee on Cosmo” was among the selected images in their online exhibit. You can see it here.
Learning Foreign Languages
If I had a superpower, it would be my ability to pick up a foreign language. My first language was Cantonese Chinese, and as an immigrant to the US at age nine, I had to learn English. Since then I have studied French, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, a little bit of Korean, German and Spanish, andContinue reading “Learning Foreign Languages”
Gratitude
Inspired by the book “Braiding Sweetgrass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer, I decided to go for a short hike this morning by myself. I can’t remember the last time I did this—hike by myself—and I thoroughly savored the time alone in nature, feeling gratitude for the fragrant air and the autumn crispness that reinvigorated my soul.Continue reading “Gratitude”

Decluttering in the Absence of Social Media
My social media fast began over a week ago. Clarity and peace returned to my mind, along with motivation to declutter and get organized. I spent the last few days cleaning my studio/office and making it into a zen space for the introvert me during my kids’ screaming fits. As I sorted through piles ofContinue reading “Decluttering in the Absence of Social Media”
New Beginnings
I am starting this new blog during my one-month break from social media, which has been consuming my psyche increasingly. While I would like to continue to express myself as a form of therapy, I want to ween myself of social media. Blogging may be the right solution. As I enter into the last yearContinue reading “New Beginnings”
