She’s been in Korea, Japan and is currently in Usa.
There are some black and white sketches from an  animal home, using what appears to be a brush pen for the detail and shadows.

"In 2008, when I was still in school, I had this project with Location Drawing Class (professor Carol Fabricatore), which I had to come up with a location I’d like to explore and be there and draw it for a whole semester, and make a book. We were not allowed to draw it from pictures. “...”I came up with an idea of drawing an animal shelter, simply because I love animals like most of people do. I got a recommendation letter from Carol, and contacted ASPCA which is still located in Upper East Side of Manhattan. People in the shelter were nice, and they let me draw whatever I want for every wednesday.”

Her use of pencil and wash bring the simple shapes to life.
She has published several books and posters of orchestras and yoga.
I am drawn to the gestural postures of the characters and the detail added in texturised pencil.

Raoul Dufy

Raoul Dufy (French, 1877–1953) was a painter and print maker associated with the Fauvist movement, and is best-known for depicting recreational scenes, such as horse races and regattas. After taking evening classes at the École des Beaux-Arts, he began his studies at the studio of Léon Bonnatat the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in 1900. Dufy first encountered Fauvism at the Salon des Indépendants in 1905 - (http://www.artnet.com/artists/raoul-dufy/biography)



I was visiting the Zurich Kunsthaus and in the shop I leafed through one of the books who featured Dufy.
His loose lines and bold colours (fauvist) attracted me. The lost sense of perspective also appealed to me.
