How would you describe your approach to paper art?
I am a modern quilling paper artist, my creations are very different from traditional quilling. I love combining different mediums with quilling. For example with watercolor or paper cut.
Where do you find inspiration?
Mostly I get requests from my customers, for example the sneaker artwork. She explained the model of the sneaker and I created according to her wish.
Other than the customers I find inspiration from everywhere, while walking on the street, or listening to music, or a quote i read on the internet, etc.

I am working on a very excited and complicated project but I have to stay quiet about it. But I want to mention the biggest project that I completed this year is my second tutorial book..
