• I’m Always On My Toes, 2014
This time I choose something different
a ballerina.
my first time to paint this.
I usually paint myself as a Rhythmic Gymnast.
ribbon, hoop, rope and ball
very graceful figure.
I want to try to paint this painting
I am learning my ballet
Now!
I decide I want to paint this to represent myself
I can paint,
I can dance,
I can draw
I can do anything.
I keep myself in good shape.
Ada Chan is a ballerina, a fiddle player and artist. She wants all of us to know that she can be whatever she wants to be. She understands that some people may see her disabilities as barriers but they are not. Chan is a passionate artist and insists on being challenged in her pursuits, as it is the striving and the ambition that makes her happy. She wants to inspire us to be brave and to follow our dreams beyond our imposed limits regardless of our own barriers. We may see in ourselves barriers, whether they come from others or ourselves.
