Name/Title
OLG - Mei Kuo Chen - Cat and DogDescription
Ms. Chen, born in Vietnam, says that when she was young, she didn’t have time to develop any leisure interest because she had to take care of family. But now she has the opportunity and time to explore new interests which she really enjoys.
One of her new interests is the AWE online art class which she joined in December of 2020. She did not have any prior experience in painting, but now, taking this art class for the past 10 months, she reports that she can complete different images with guidance from her instructor, Insio. Ms. Chen especially enjoys using watercolors to paint plants, flowers, and landscapes.
Through the class, she is enjoying making new friends, and says she appreciates how everyone shares their skills and learns from each other. She encourages other seniors to “take the opportunities to develop new interests even though we are elderly.”
