What does Asteria Mou means? Why Asteria Mou?

Asteria Mou is derived from Greek language, αστέρια μου.
Astéria (αστέρια) means stars, where Mou(μου) is My, which is My Stars.

Few years ago, I couldn’t cope with the grief for my beloved and supportive grandparents during my visit to Greece. My boyfriend brought me to a beach at night. We were listening to the tranquillising sea waves and when I looked above, I saw an abundance of stars in the sky like a glittering veil. My boyfriend pointed at the sky and told me, whenever I missed my grandparents, I could look up to find the brightest stars among the shining stars. They would be up above shining for me.

My stars are my grandparents who encouraged me to follow my dreams since I was a kid;
my stars are my family and friends supported me for my art journey;
my stars are those who like my art and encourage me to continue chasing my dreams.

P.S. The character Wai 慧 from my Chinese name consists of 2 parts: a comet ☄ with a heart ♡

Where did you go to study art?

I studied in Savannah College of Arts and Design (SCAD) for 4 years majoring Fashion Design. During my studies, I was mainly focusing in fashion sketching and garment making.

I have become a graphic designer since graduated but my dream for being an illustrator has never been stopped. I am mostly self-taught and developing my style for illustrations.

What medium do you use to create your work?

For traditional medium, I often use markers, watercolours and gouache paint. For digital drawing, I usually go with my ipad and my wacom cintiq pro 16 tablet.
