June Yun

During the springtime of 2020, It is still beautiful as it is every year, but we all know it’s different this year. The breeze is still rippling on the glistening water, flowers are still blooming...... Without of any social activities, I am staying at home quietly, painting this special Spring from my surroundings. My life is simple, tranquil and solitary - as is my art of this special moment.
