As much as I try to make it look easy – juggling my day job (as an art teacher) and personal art is such a challenge. I continue to question myself – how do I even get the groove to draw anyway? How do I find time for personal art instead of rest, or binge-watch series on weekends?
Before I started teaching, I tried to focus on art alone, refused other freelance opportunities yet still struggled conceptualizing, illustrating and managing my time.
Just now, I realized how teaching inspired me to push myself learn and work hard on my art. It’s such a humbling experience to learn with and from your students. Whatever lack of inspiration there was from before, teaching continues to fill it at present.
So, thank YOU also for your help – may it be just simple words of affirmation or inspiring advice. (Not to be sappy) I wouldn’t be able to come up with new artworks and products if it weren’t for you.

“She thought the drops of water would wash her clean, instead her teardrops left a stain.
She was a victim of circumstance.
And these stains blinded her from seeing that she will always be beautiful.”
