About the Artist
I like painting falling stars and the moon in the night sky. Also, I paint a pretty girl as a rockstar. She is a lovely young woman who has a lot of heart. I use bright colours for my design and my dream. My painting inspires me because I am the best actress in my career. I fill my paintings with rain drops, sun, snow falling from the night sky, the glow of the white moon and stars shining from the sky, and purple red flowers. I feel happy and I love painting. Painting makes me beautiful.
