Speaking of 10,000 hours…that was from Malcolm Gladwell’s book, “The Outliers”. A great read and one that every artist was quoting from when it came out.

TaLisa,
How fascinating your family sounds and your cultural background. One of my good friends is half Chinese and half Scottish and she talks a lot about self identity and what the present culture views as her cultural identity. Interestingly she says that most places she has travelled she is assumed to be native to that country. She has been to South America, India, Europe and the Middle East. I find that fascinating and I read an interesting mystery into your profile picture and images as well. So this would also fascinate me to see it woven into your work and artist statement too. I guess I love stuff like that and want to know more and more about it. It sounds like your work might also be quite a bit about exploring your identity too.
The botanical illustration influence intrigues me too. I want to know more about that mostly because I don’t know much about that type of illustration but also like them.
I love how you have described everything back to me quite boldly and in wonderful detail!
