by Elisa Choi Ang on February 7, 2013 with 2 Comments

While I paint I am reminding myself to live in love. With each stroke that I made I tell myself to live in love. Because that is what we are all born to do. To love and nothing else.

And I just had to capture them … Read More

All I know is this: … Read More
