Hahado

My enjoyable work using an oriental combination of gold leaf with nature settings.
I have taken elements of an oriental old style and combined them with two hummingbirds
playing with lotus in the early morning.
The lotus is a symbol of purity, birds are happiness and soul-mates.
The word `Hahado` is a Korean word, meaning an ancient painted lotus flower on paper.
It will light up any room.

Painting is an unexplained addiction that has been placed upon me.

One day, I woke up & had to paint. And now I cannot stop.

In my previous life in South Korea my life was dedicated to helping others- as a nurse in bustling main city hospitals.
I chased that career when I moved to Australia in 2002. However, now I am an artist.
I have a beautiful studio in outer Melbourne where I paint and paint and paint. I have got to paint.
The subjects are limitless. I have no boundaries. There is no singular topic in which I immerse.
If the subject appears in an imagination or its real and has a presence, then I must paint it.

I have never been at such peace in my daily work. It’s a crazy world where I now find that my work is helping me.

Currently participating in contemporary art study at the Mornington Peninsula, convened by Cheryl Peterson Art studio.
