​✧ I'm fairly new to art, having only discovered the wonders of ink and watercolors years after college and a degree in psychology had come and gone. I'm mostly self-taught and love the imperfect symmetry of working freehand. I launched Lacelit in 2014 and am doing my best to make up for lost time.
.
✧ I work full-time at a university in Communications and Marketing (day off today!), and reserve evenings, weekends and lunch breaks for running my art business.
.
✧ I'm hapa (a person of partial Asian or Pacific Islander decent) and all growing up, my two sisters and I had Japanese rice with every meal. My Japanese roots weave into my work with my love of paper, delicate patterns, working with small shapes and an overall minimalist aesthetic.
.
✧ Despite being born and raised in sunny SoCal, I am an overcast skies, sweater-wearing, rainy-day child at heart who dreams of migrating to the Pacific Northwest.
.
✧ The first two decades of my life were centered in the performing arts with choreography, music, and theatre as my creative outlets.
.
✧ My favorite pastimes include reading novels (particularly fantasy and sci-if), writing poetry, blogging and knitting.
