Yvette is Vedran's neighbor, and we met at the Kim Light Gallery, a representative of Yvette's large scale paintings. The first impression that Yvette gave me was lively and warm. Since last month, she has showed us around the city and visited China Town, Beverly Hills, and the Getty Villa. Today we went to Torrance Art Museum (TAM) for a Curator's Talk with the Artist-Eric Johnson. TAM is a nice boutique like museum. Yvette would like to have an exhibition there someday.
Vedran said that Yvette is a curious person and she has great potential to be successful. Yvette used to be a dancer, actor, opera singer, and a model. She chose to be an artist because painting to her is an ultimate combination of performance, musical, and personal expression that can be last for a life time. She likes to talk about her family, especially her children. When she is around, it's never dull. She likes to laugh a lot, too.
She asked me to paint about "immigrant" from a female perspective. She is going to send the painting to her best friend in Napa, California. Her friend is also an artist, and she believes her friend will be able to contribute some great opinions to this project.

note from 11/7:
A few days ago, Yvette told me that she would create another painting for responding my painting for her, and she would submit our paintings to the Korean Cultural Center Art Gallery's Call for Participation-Women Artists on Immigration. I show her the finished painting today, and she likes it. I really think that she understands those unspoken words in it. A BEAUTIFUL collaboration project!

Sue Ching,
I love the way you see me, it is so very generous of you. In fact your project is most kind. Perhaps that is the essence of you.
I believe thoughts are things, what you think will materialize somehow, somewhere. The sweetness of your nature is projected through your work. Kindness is a commodity in this world.
I cherish your friendship.
Yvette
