Artist's Comments
There are two main stereotypes of Asian women in America. One is of the 'Dragon Lady', an Asian woman of exotic beauty, who is scheming, calculating, catty, sneaky, hypersexual, back-stabbing, and untrustworthy. Next you've got 'the Lotus Blossom', the quiet, silent, submissive Asian girl, passive, eager to please, and prudent. Over time this stereotype evolved into that of the 'Model Minority'... the straight A overachiever, obedient to the wishes of her parents...both types are silent in different ways. I used my own face for these paintings because I've been personally subject to both of these stereotypes. And of course, neither stereotype fits who I really am.

Beautiful Painting. I would like to see a larger size so I can see better what you have done. Looks like the background might be done first with a watercolor technique? Then the portrait done over the background? Love your description also. We should always have meaning and purpose to the work we do!

I have a simple philosophy for life. I try to make at least one person smile every day.
I couldn't imagine any more beautiful way to colour this. You've made such a troubling topic so pretty to look at, which is a very clever success: creating an ambiguity... a refusal to be defined.
This is chaos and colour like I've never seen before, and employed for such an honest and meaningful purpose. Really I am moved and inspired, and (rarest of all) I feel educated too, by your insight into the cruel stereotypes suffered by Asian women today.
