<div style="text-align: center;">
2019 caught me off guard by becoming the year of change.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first half of the year was filled with fear, loss, and uncertainty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a hard time finding my way on shifting grounds to stay the course.<br />
<br />
As the space around was in flux,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I learned to trust my wisdom and listen to her whispers - </div>

Hello Kitty, the Patron Saint of Cute turned 45 years old in 2019.<br />
<br />
With an invitation to participate in her official anniversary exhibition,<br />
I gave myself the task to paint like an old master from 17th century, Japan -<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Learning how to paint from a 300-year-old master in Nihonga,<br />
traditional Japanese art was painfully satisfying.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I felt like a young surgeon in anatomy class dissecting his paintings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
into small pieces to understand the intricate design in his brushwork. </div>
