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.

I have a simple philosophy for life. I try to make at least one person smile every day.
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.
