I took some time off this weekend to rest and restore after a really busy start to Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
This coming week, I’ll be speaking with local 6abc news reporter Nydia Han about my father Chen Lok Lee’s life and legacy and what I am doing to preserve it.
The beauty of an artist is that when they leave this earth, they leave behind a physical remembrance of who they were. I have a box full of my father’s chops. As I go through each of his works on paper, I make a mental note of which chop he used to complete his work. Even his chops were his own designs and handiwork.
So grateful that I can hold them in my hands today.
