Artist of the Month - April 2025
Alice Lai
Everyone is an artist shaping their own life.
Without art in my heart is no point in my life. Art can be anything we want it to be.
I have always wanted to find a unique sense of beauty in life.
Sometimes that strikes deep within my heart and sparks a moment of inspiration, allowing me to capture the emotional beauty of that fleeting moment.
These years I have been searching for a new painting style.
Walking in a state of confusion, but falling in love with the enjoyment of freely creating and boldly expressing myself, bravely discovering a new version of who I am!
