Realm of Mind, Realm of Leisure - Mei-chu (美珠) Sketching Journey

Lin Mei-chu (林美珠), a graduate of the National Junior College of Arts, has spent years traveling between the city and nature. She has a passion for sketching and regards painting as her lifelong career. Her primary media are sketching, watercolor, and oil painting, with landscapes and human architecture as her creative themes. She focuses on the emotional connections generated by the interaction between nature and humanity, using this as the ultimate form of expression in her painting. The process is full of challenges, representing the refinement of time, the test of painting skills, and, more importantly, a significant ordeal of focus and growth.
In her youth, she worked as an occupational therapist at the Taoyuan Psychiatric Center for five years. For a student who had just graduated from art school, the focus shifted from paintings to patients, and her mindset changed from pure painting to striving to treat patients. Thus, she learned a completely different field (using art forms to achieve therapeutic effects for patients). Although they seem to be entirely unrelated professions, it had a substantial impact on her future painting career and even her personal life. Like a gentle rain silently moisturizing the earth, she became more steadfast in her beliefs, and the hand holding the brush grew much stronger.
This exhibition accumulates the painting results of several years. She hopes to have a silent visual exchange with every viewer, letting the paintings turn into words and the space into a theater. In the season of March when cherry blossoms are in bloom, may you and I achieve a romantic serendipity.
