Levis-Fox Art Gallery
sponsored the 1st International Felting Art Exhibition, February 20 –
April 20. Only two artists were brave to
expose their artworks among thousands of masters. Jessica Ma is among them. She
presented the most unusual artwork made of wool!
“Golden Gate Bridge
Like
many Chinese families, her parents liked to compare her with other kids all the
time. She always thought there was nothing she could do in life would ever
please them and make them proud of her. Her parents use to tell Jessica that dreams
can’t buy her food. You have to get a
stable job that provides you security.
Don’t chase after something that won’t earn you money. But Jessica made
something different. Her talent led her to international success!

This
is her story.
Praying
for a Change…
My
life is simple and routine. I have a
full time job, which I have worked for 10 years. However, I do not enjoy it at all. No passion. No satisfaction. I know that I have talent and passion for
art; however, I do not dare to pursue it.
So life went on, but I was not happy at all. In Winter 2011, I started to pray for a
change to happen. I wanted to do
something different, most importantly something I enjoy doing. God has answered my prayer. Instead of giving
me a new job, He gave me a talent and passion to sew. Something I have never thought of doing
before but I really enjoy it now. It is
such an amazing and a rewarding experience to know that people like my felted
goods. I never knew that I can do
something to touch and inspire people like this with my hands. I know my courage to chase after dreams is
coming back….finally…
All her artworks are about herself,
Jessica
Ma
her
childhood,
the
place where she came from,
and
what she loves...
Congratulate Jessica with her first
international success. Leave your comments about how big dreams come true!
Love,
Natalia Levis-Fox
