I wrote and illustrated this picture book "Gina", published by Gakken, Tokyo, Japan.

Gina is a little hen. She always fights, and for this reason, she cannot find any friends.
One day, she had an idea, she decided to make masks.
Making masks was a way for Gina to find herself and make friends.

Calgary Map

The Utility Box Program started in 2010 as a pilot project initiated by The City of Calgary Roads. Initially conceived as a highly successful graffiti abatement measure, widespread popularity enabled the program to grow and become permanent in 2011. (The City of Calgary)

I created and painted 5 projects with playful and colorful dinosaur theme displayed in different communities around Calgary, Canada.

A rose theme for a journal and a Gertrude Jekyll quote "There is always in February some one day, at least, when one smells the yet distant, but surely coming, summer."

Inspired by Canada wildlife and nature.

The "Elk"  and "Tea Cup & Tea Pot" have been selected by the juror Katherine Ylitalo, to be exhibited as part of the ACAD “Spotlight” exhibition Calgary, Canada 2017
Katherine Ylitalo is an independent curator, arts writer and educator. She has been a curator of contemporary art at both the Glenbow Museum and the Nickle Arts Museum (UofC) in Calgary.

Comment from Katherine Ylitalo about these works:
These are playful and confident exploration of pattern and silhouette that achieve graphically smart solutions.
