Congratulations

First of all, congratulations on the publication of my mother's catalog.

During youth, you lived a passionate life as a teacher who only taught children to have the right mind and posture for over
30 years. And I remember the way that you were compassionate and very strict for your children.

You were busy playing the role of one person at home and at work, and because of that, you have lived by putting off the
things you truly liked and wanted. When I think about starting what you want to do only after retiring, my heart is broken.

As time goes by, you don't forget the easy-to-forget inner sensibility, and the appearance of sublimating through paintings
seems really beautiful. Of course, you chose the path of educator because you liked it, but I hope you enjoy your second life
as fun and rewarding as your health allows. However, please pay attention to your health so as not to overdo anything.

I believe that the power of art is the driving force that recharges the energy of life not only for the artist's own life, but also
for those around us who observe its purity and passion. Thanks to this, we also live very vigorously.

Publishing this catalog is the fruit of your enthusiasm and hard work. I hope to receive more attention from many experts
and acquaintances at home and abroad, and I hope that the generous encouragement and interest of those who love
paintings are also welcomed. I would like to applaud you once again for your passionate life that you have shown.
Always thank and love.
