The purposes of this website are to (1) display the artworks I have created; (2) publish my own research paper on fine and commercial arts, tips, knowledge and skills; (3) recommend textbooks, websites of art teachers and other artists and YouTube videos to students of arts as instructional resources; (4) publish high-quality artworks completed by art students; and (5) sell my artworks to the general public. Therefore, this website performs the functions of an online gallery-art store for myself and of an online library for art students.
