Lan-Lai
“Reflections”
On Lok Lifeways East san Jose
Mr. Lan-Lai was born in Khan Hoa, Vietnam in 1939, were he worked for many years as a national nurse. He is still proud of the high scores he achieved in the nursing exams. He also worked as a Chinese-Vietnamese interpreter in a broadcast station there.
He has two children and four grandchildren, and especially enjoys taking nature walks and playing with radio-controlled airplanes. "Seniors like us need to exercise more to sustain our health," he asserts.
Despite some vision issues, he and his wife faithfully attend the weekly classes. His teacher Dmitry, who describes him as a "gentle, polite and respectful man" says that Mr. Lan-Lai's signature mark is his ability to create a soft pastel-like light tone in his images, using colored pencils.
With no previous art experience before taking AWE classes, he is very glad to have his artwork chosen for the exhibit.
