waterfall goddess

The Waterfall Goddess of Jiuzhaigou Valley (九寨沟), carving out mountains with streams and planting the first tree of the Primeval Forest. I doubt I'll ever stop being inspired by that place.

It's been a year of many life changing events for me... last summer, I moved cross-country from Detroit to Seattle for a game artist job. All in all, life's been pretty good. Sam and I have definitely appreciated Seattle for its mountains and views, though the last 4 months of rainy season made me brood more than I would like! But it is a good excuse to stay in and paint all day...

it's been a crazy few months!  I got hitched, had an amazing celebration in China and America with my respective families, and spent the better part of the summer/fall months traveling.   here are a few highlights from my trip across China with Sam!  all the pretty mountains/waterfalls are from a national reserve called Jiuzhaigou Valley, probably the most inspiring place I've ever visited. *o*
