While most of my creative expression is expressed through paintings, I sometimes like to extend my reach into other mediums. Back in 2009, I started developing a series of vases inspired by the layers of an onion. I had no idea that this design would gain global recognition and go on to win the most prestigous awards in it’s field.
The “Blooming Onion” series won ASFD’s Pinnacle Award a few months back and it just received a Gold Medal Adex Award from Design Journal.
I hope this doesn’t sound like I am bragging. I am very honored and almost uncomfortable by the success.
Making the world a little more beautiful to live in is what fuels my soul.
