Paint Mines Interpretive Park was not in our itinerary, but it became a highlight of our trip. The colorful rock formations and being able to explore them up close was so much fun for the kids.

Great Sand Dunes National Park - I really felt like is on Arrakis. This was one of the kids’ favorite spots.

This was our second trip to Garden of the Gods. Unlike 2 years ago, we did not have the threat of thunderstorms, so we were able to hike the upper trail for a grand view.

We recently returned from a road/wedding trip in Colorado. Our first stop was Boulder. My family wanted to spend the whole day in Boulder Bookstore.

While dragons were viewed as monsters and embodiments of the devils in western cultures, they are omnipotent beings and symbolize power, strength, and good fortune in eastern cultures.

Pagoda in the Secret Garden - I wanted to make a Korea painting that was not in my sketchbook. I love how it looks so much the round panel.

I have had this round wooden panel, prepped with watercolor paper for almost 3 years, just sitting and waiting for the right painting. I finally found the right painting.

My art studio buddy hard at work. I had to put a box under the window to prevent him and his sister from knocking everything off my desk.

I tried hand painting boots for the first time. The motif was inspired by Korean artwork.

This is my third embroidery project in a row. I have not yet figured out the right technique of using a thimble, so I’m digging a hole into my finger. Other than that, I really enjoy learning more about embroidery and incorporating it into my paintings.

“Not Leda” - This my new take on the myth about Leda, best known as the mother of Castor and Pollux. In my version, she is a woman who is not going to be defined by the wiles of a powerful man, and she will live freely on her terms.

A detail from my new artwork, “Not Leda.” To better understand its context, refer to the Greek myth of Leda and Zeus.
