FuMei Sorteberg enjoys making art because she likes creating things that look beautiful. Her process usually involves drawing pictures and scanning them into Adobe Illustrator where she adds color to each design. When painting, she uses photographs as a resource and finishes each composition using sharpies to outline the subjects. She also really likes watercolor painting because you can make a mistake and correct it easily. When asked, “What does your art mean to you?” FuMei stated, “My art shows me I can be creative in my own ways.” She hopes that her art can inspire many people around the world.
