"If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong." ~ Masaru Emoto, "Secret Life of Water" ___________________________________________________ Down into the depths we go.

"Ann Phong's future looked as barren as the fields mowed down by the war machine. She felt doomed as an artist, to be used solely as an instrument of propaganda for the new #Vietnamese Communist regime. So when the chance came to escape by boat, she took it, even though it meant leaving her parents and siblings behind, perhaps forever..." (excerpt from "Freedom for Ann Phong--and Her Art"—ARTS IN #littlesaigon, A culture transplanted. Fourth in a series. March 15, 1995 | ZAN DUBIN | TIMES STAFF WRITER #losangelestimes ) Meet Ann Phong THIS Thursday, November 8 at 6:30 p.m. and learn more about her journey and artistic process. #TheMuck #Fullerton #orangecounty Show sponsored by @blickartmaterials #blickartmaterials .
