    Love upcycling cardboard for art

    I moved to New York City over a decade ago. Since then, I’ve been sharing my love upcycling for cardboard art. I do this through workshops that bring together children, parents, and educators. Looking back at these photos from 2017, I’m reminded of how quickly time passes. Seasons change. Children grow. My art continues to evolve. As Very Fina Art approaches its 25th anniversary, I’m celebrating my journey of craftsmanship and creativity 😊. I hope my business connects with you soon!

    Handmade card: “my” design series

    Not many people know I studied photography at the university. Back in the day, it was the darkroom where I hung out a lot. It was the darkness and tranquility that trained my senses to see. I see with my nose, my ears, and my hands. In my photography, there are a lot of portraits and close-ups, and textures. After school, I worked as a layout designer in a “photoshop”. We worked with the local companies, especially in the tourist industry. I remember working with KFC.

    My journey as an artist is deeply connected to photography and design. Come check out “my”design series.

    Art Exhibition at The Fulton Center

    Art Exhibition at The Fulton Center

    The art exhibition Resiliency is on view at The Fulton Center. I am honored to be part of the show and to share my art and story. My artwork often captures the feelings of chaos and harmony, a sense of belonging and isolation when living in a city. Just few days before the exhibition open, we experienced flooding in NYC. I am still in shock because my studio is affected by the sudden flooding.  I feel the theme of the exhibition, Resiliency, is speaking to me right now!! So, I will put my painting on hold for few weeks when dealing with the aftermath. However, I won’t be defeated. I Will resume my work very soon. In the meantime, come see my cardboard paintings at The Fulton Center!

    Art on the Ave Exhibition at The Fulton Center.
    Dates: Sept 7 – Nov 28, 2021.
    Location: The Fulton Center, 200 Broadway, New York, NY 10038.
