I love life very much. I was born in a lovely Christian family. There is a clear calling which guide me to the needs. Since I was young, I have been curious about who I am, and what my mission is. I am searching the answer from Social Work, Psychology, Education and even Theology. However, it’s not enough. Then, visual arts has entered my heart and I realize that I can express myself by arts such as painting or photographing. I believe that Art is a way of knowing.

One day, when I saw the picture on the Internet, I started crying out of control. --------------------------------- Description: The girl drew ‘a mom’ on the floor, took off her shoes and put her shoes carefully. Finally, she lied in mom’s arms, then fell asleep.

After seeing the photo of an orphan, I have an idea to drew the painting. ---------------------------------- In a cold night, I was waiting for the voice from God. What could I do for the orphan? I felt how lonely the orphan… Surely, If I could, I really want to give her a big hug.

I didn’t know which key can open my future, and I am still searching. The keys and the locks aren’t matched each other. And, the net of the background made me stressed. I almost can not breathe.

Until I met God on the grass, I heard some voice from him. I enjoyed and listened.

At the same time, When I was in work, I observed some children express themselves completely by painting more than speaking. Also, I was interested in discussion with them about their art works. Always, I found some story in their arts work.

Equip Myself

God remained me to give hands toward the needs.
