Thank you so much, Suwanee Arts Center! And thank you to everyone who liked and supported my artwork - it means more than I can express!

Congratulations to Scarlet Hao 🎉

We are so excited to share that she has won the People’s Choice Award with her piece Born With Wings, Acrylic, from Her Collective Voice: A Women’s Art Exhibition. This work truly captured the attention and hearts of our visitors, and we are so proud to celebrate this recognition with her.

Scarlet Hao is also currently exhibiting with us in In Full Bloom, our Spring Art Exhibition, running through July 10, 2026 🌸 Her new pieces continue to show her beautiful creative voice and we cannot wait for you to experience them in person.

Make sure to stop by the Suwanee Arts Center, take your time with the exhibition, and see her work up close. It is even better in person, and there is so much to discover throughout the gallery.

You can also find her on Instagram at ✨

We invite everyone to visit, enjoy the show, and support the amazing artists featured in this season’s exhibition.

🖤 Two special custom pieces I recently created for the wonderful Morgan:

🎭 Majora’s Mask — a dark, haunting tribute featuring the ominous moon. I leaned into the eerie atmosphere and let the shadows tell the story.
🌸 Morgiana from Magi — calm and grounded, she sits beneath a blooming cherry blossom tree, a quiet moment of strength and serenity.

Morgan was such a dream to work with — patient, kind, and fully trusting of my process. And a big thank you to Nancy for helping with our connection. I’m so grateful to you both 🫶

Swipe to see these two very different, very meaningful pieces.

Feeling incredibly fortunate and flattered to be interviewed and featured by ! 💖

Being a “startup” artist isn’t easy—but over the past few years, I’ve met the kindest people, made lifelong friends, and received support that means more than words can say. This feature is such an honor, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity. Thank you, Shoutout Atlanta—it means the world. 🌸

🍁Yes… it’s another cat 😸 but how could I resist painting this little autumn wanderer in a kimono and parasol? And I know everyone is dreaming of fall right now…
Besides, one of my recent custom pieces was for the sweetest cat named Earl Gray—I incorporated his owner’s favorite cherry blossoms into the painting 🌸 It turned out so dreamy!

Also—exciting news!
✨ I’ll be a vendor at JapanFest for the first time this year!

“If a human harms a human, do not ever forgive them.”
A new tribute to the silent strength of Sakonji Urokodaki.
Painted in ink and watercolor, this piece captures the unwavering resolve of the master behind the Tengu mask.

With the new Demon Slayer movie just around the corner, I wanted to honor the man who shaped Tanjiro’s path—and whose values echo louder than words.

Swipe into the mist. 🍃🩸
