Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Somnambulist Gallery is a record of an artistic and romantic journey through diverse civilizations and cultures. From the light and lightness of the world’s busiest cities to the chatters of small towns, the reader is taking to uncharted territories with endless encounters, each reflecting the rich landscape of the world and sophisticated mindscape of the author. "This is Simone Gao ́s ambition as a self-confessed somnambulist: "getting away not to experience the periphery of society but to enter reality more deeply." In a strange way, I agree with her. Sleepwalking is a modern form of actively finding meaning and freedom in our world; sometimes it is also the only way of staying awake. " --Mai Mang (Yibing Huang), Chinese poet "Simone Gaos artwork is very unique and poetic. Somehow, each work reflects her personal experience, with espresso as a metaphor for herself in the world. But when we see the paintings, we not only smell the espresso, but also see beyond to her mood. Her art does not just simply describe the story but is filled with emotional sensibilities." --JianJun Zhang, professor at NYU and artist
