Welcome! Here are some of my Hand-painted Watercolor portraits. Some are commission works and some are personal projects. I love making creative portraits because there are so many stories to be told in each of the person I painted. I will add new works when I finish them!
Welcome to my world!
This is a hand-painted watercolor portrait of myself (JJ is here!) and my studio assistants Octi and Pigi. Octi carries my sketchbooks, paint and brushes (with her 8 arms) everywhere I go, and she tells great jokes and always full of bizarre and fun ideas (with her 9 brains), and she is super kind-hearted (with 3 hearts) and wants to help everyone along our journey. Pigi is my golden flying biggy bank (from my sponsors and supporters that made my dream of being an artist come true), she is my ultimate guide for treasure hunting, and always cheer me up or kick me in the ass when I am not being myself or lost my way.
Watercolor portraits for Katie Middleton (haha not Kate the duchess, but my dear co-author of our children's book series). Katie is a fashion icon, lifestyle guru, whimsical writer, a full-time school teacher, and my partner-in-crime in JK Creatives Co. She loves Macaroon and pumpkin spice latte and everything cozy and cute. She is always full of fun ideas and gives me endless laughters. You can often find us laughing so loud at Cider house near Kitsilano Beach, or find us having a doodle party with IKEA crayon and color pens drawing geometric silly birds, or having high-tea with mermaids, dancing disco with dinosaurs, or dressing up for fashion show with Robots!
This is a hand-painted watercolor portrait of our adventurous climber Tiff!
Princess Tiff is venturing out from her castle to take on a big journey. She is blessed by the goddess of strength, joy and life. Everything she touches and everywhere she goes, life is blooming. She has gathered a loyal following along the way (Freddie the cat, her rock friends and butterflies). Every morning, her unicorn guardian is filling her tea cup with rainbow till her cup runneth over, and wisdom flowers are growing on her helmet. She has learned from a wise man/women to seek the tree of life first to establish strong roots before heading towards the epic peak.
Commissioned portrait of baby Jaxon. Born on their family farm on Salt Spring Island. Surrounding him are their beloved farm animals and guardians dogs cats and bird Lucky.
