This past school year, I had an amazing time speaking to the entire 5th grade class from Friends Select School about Chen Lok Lee, his life as an immigrant, and his work as an artist. They got to tour the space at the Crane Community Center and engage in conversation with me on printmaking, painting, migration and identity. They had thoughtful observations, comments and questions.
Chen Lok Lee was an educator first and foremost, and he loved to see people tap into their own brand of creativity, and most importantly reach their potential. It means so much to me that I could share his story and work, and inspire the next generation of artists and creative thinkers.
