Features: Three parts article, two parts painting, plus one part mischief. If her paintings are enigmatic and eerie in purple and yellow, then her writing is like a spell of fragrant breath. The cunning little thief's sharp arrows shoot obliquely, unstoppable. When ambushed, one can't help but exclaim with pleasure. That kind of delight is like finding treasure, like hitting the jackpot, like finding a restroom when urgently needing one, or having when not able to perform. It opens the meridians of the body and mind, like a waking-up elixir or a mind-clearing infusion, bringing both physical and mental ease.
