Artist Shee is an international artist specialized in oil painting and recently in sculpture. His work of art is created in three distinctive cultural geographic locations of Europe, America and Asia: Paris, Chicago and Taipei.
His talent creation shines in all forms and styles of art. His emotions resonate with many art enthusiasts all over the world as his faithful and patronage followers. That is truly a driving force behind his passion in art.
Dr. Gloria Groom, Curator of the Art Institute of Chicago for European Arts once said "his art is about communicating the joy he has found in painting with the colors that convey his dreams to others. His colors and forms have been reinvigorated by his rich personal life and most of all by his deep appreciation of the human body and by his spiritual center."
Visual art as part of the basic culture affects the kind of society we live in and leads the civilization of mankind along the way. It is equally as important, if not greater than, the economy for human existence. With good or superior culture a country and its people will survive even without good economy. On the other hand the very country and its people may not exist too long without continuous support from cultural development. Artist Shee sees the importance and value of art for the people either local or global and works hard to promote cultural development for creating a better and more tolerant society for all with love, peace and hope.

Sekirei (セキレイ lit. Wagtail) is a Japanese manga series by Sakurako Gokurakuin. Originally starting serialization in the seinen magazine Young Gangan published by Square Enix in June 2005, Sekirei is an ecchi manga aimed at young men. An anime adaptation produced by Seven Arcs and directed by Keizō Kusakawa was aired in Japan between July and September 2008.

In Tokyo in the year 2020, Minato Sahashi has failed the college entrance exam twice, is awkward around women, and unemployed. Growing up, he could never stand up to his mother or little sister, a trend that continues to this day. In reality, Minato is extremely intelligent, yet his inability to cope under pressure results in his constant failure. As a result he has been branded an idiot and loser by many. One day, Minato meets a girl named Musubi, who literally falls from the sky. Minato soon learns that she is one of 'Sekirei' and he is her 'Ashikabi', human with special genes that allows them to "wing" (ie. form a contract with) Sekirei. This binds the Sekirei to him and allows them to use their full power in the elimination battle with other Sekirei. Made up of cute girls, buxom women, and bishōnen, the Sekirei fight in a dangerous and sometimes deadly competition (also known as "The Game" or "Sekirei plan") organized by Minaka Hiroto, chairman and founder of the mysterious and powerful MBI Corporation. Minato soon learns that being the partner of a beautiful girl is not all fun and games, especially when he discovers that an Ashikabi can have more than one Sekirei partner - and that's where the real trouble starts.
