I started as a digital designer, where "pixel perfect" was something to live by. Until I had the privilege to study sumie and shodo under Japanese teachers who had the patience to teach me, as I don't speak Japanese.

Over the years, I learned to appreciate the happy imperfections that only ink and paper brings. Sometimes, this overflows outside the paper borders to my every day.

Below are some works that are far from perfect, yet every one of them has brought joy to my life. I hope they bring joy to yours, too. ~ GretchO
