About Wendy I am a major in biology at university where I am taking a Master's degree program. I love to paint daily moods and other people's lives. For me, painting is an expression, words are a kind of emotion, and records are a kind of life. I have a responsible attitude and like to cooperate with people. I plan to set up an illustration studio and create my own picture book with my writing and illustration. And I hope that I can be a lecturer to teach illustration.
