About Wendy I am a major in biology at university where I am taking a Master's degree program. I love to paint daily moods and other people's lives. For me, painting is an expression, words are a kind of emotion, and records are a kind of life. I have a responsible attitude and like to cooperate with people.

I plan to set up an illustration studio and create my own picture book with my writing and illustration. And I hope that I can be a lecturer to teach illustration.

Daily Life I like to observe people in my daily life. If I see a touching scene, I will take a photo and record it, then go home and draw it.

“Eat the Difficulties�

2019 watercolor
