Dear Readers of http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog

I wish you all wellness and joy.

This post is to acknowledge the dear folks who have encouraged and inspired me as I made my debut as a Found-Object Artist. Whether or not they were there in person, I humbly thank everyone as I go forward with a new perspective!

Year 2018 began with receiving acceptance of my application to be in A PLACE OF HER OWN residency program (created by Cynthia Tom) – an art-based healing and transformation series of workshops culminating in an art exhibition for women. http://www.aplaceofherown.org

A PLACE OF HER OWN is dedicated to fostering the long-term mental health and well-being of women.

Featuring 24 San Francisco Bay Area Women Artists answering the question:

“If you had a place of your own, what would it be?”

Curated by Cynthia Tom and Maggie Yee

Teresa Jade LeYung speaks openly through her writing and advocacy, her immigrant experience, and her knowing beauty. As an author, a story consultant, and a found-object artist, she empowers women to transform their own stories and is often quoted as saying: “I think beauty. I am beauty.” Please visit http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/

Dear Cat, Kim, Linda & Tom, Liz, Maria (Sis), Marie-Christine, Olga!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for attending the June 24 closing celebration of A PLACE OF HER OWN.

Thank you, artist Reiko Fujii, for gifting me one of your “curating joy” jars!

Wow, my sister Maria! She and our father and our Cousin Howard had already cheered for me on June 17 – Cynthia, Tomo, Frances and I were “gallery sitting” on Father’s Day. What a lovely surprise to see her at Closing Celebration too! Thank you, Sis, for filming Cynthia Tom and all of us during Cynthia’s closing remarks on June 24, 2018.
