Allow me to share my life changing journey.  It all started years ago when I bought some Koi fish from the local pet store. It was splendid, all the spectacle colors capture my curiosity.  Enchanted by their beauty, ended up buying 40 in total. It took years on learning how to properly raise them. Been in so many heart breaking situations where I battled with predators, diseases " parasites", and water quality issues. Trough the years I loss and gain koi. After about 6 years, I finally breed my first fry. I had multiple harvest and most have found it's home! I then started a business selling baby koi, it was called BACKYARDKOI.

​

Then the love of koi led me into painting. I started capturing their moves, colors and beauty. I then started painting and I was amazed that I could paint. Even though I been drawing since I was young and even joining competitions during school days, I never tried any painting.

​

I was enjoying the new journey, and with the help of Bob Ross and some other painting materials and videos online, I was on the go. Then the business went further and it is now BackyardKoi & ART. 

​

I then started joining and showcasing my art at STATEFAIR and even exhibiting in restaurants. Below are some that I had entered at STATEFAIR.
