As a practicing artist and cultural worker, my goals remain consistently to create a <br /> highly skilled and collaborative community comprised of mature and thoughtful professionals <br /> who will share their work and ideas together through public exhibitions, lectures, seminars, and <br /> retreats. Several years ago after a career emphasizing my teaching and commercial art, I am now <br /> returning to my early focus on advocacy and intervention,but this time as a mature artist and <br /> community worker rather than a special education therapist. As a practicing artist, it is critical <br /> that I can make an artistic statement that is meaningful as well as accessible to the public. <br /> With grant support for materials and research, I can make time for continuous growth and <br /> technical development to consider deeper ideas. I will be afforded additional personal research <br /> time to explore current issues and meet with local community groups such as Friends with <br /> Families from China, the Eurasia Group in New York City, local China scholars, and friends and <br /> neighbors of Chinese origin who have raised families in this country or whose families still <br /> reside in China. My public community forums will provide for discussion and examination of <br /> current issues and environmental challenges that Chinese, Americans, and Chinese Americans <br /> experience today, exploring love, life, culture, and family. <br /> Letters of support <br /> Letters of support will be provided upon request from Laura Griest, Manager of UNC <br /> Global Events and Exhibitions, Townsend Ludington,Boshamer Distinguished Professor of <br /> American Studies and English, Samm Sacks, China Analyst Eurasia Group, Heather Seymour, <br /> parent, Families with Children from China, Triangle Chapter. <br />
