Our featured artist for the month of December is Mei Fung (Elizabeth Chan). She was awarded first place in our virtual online Amazing Love exhibition for her piece, “The Lamb Tail.”

“Portraiture and animals inspire me to express each character, emotions and personalities. I mainly use self portrait to create narrative about sheep because God is the one who created me. Plants, animals and objects provides symbolic meanings. In Luke 15, The Parable of the Lost Sheep, Jesus told them: "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn't he leave the 99 in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

I have utilized printmaking, drawings and glass to create my body of work. My process is combined with Western and Eastern style as I am from China and immigrate to US for about 7 yrs.”
