Joanne's Gallery Experience in Her Own Words

Currently I am seventeen. Currently I am on the youth gallery committee. Currently my creativity and artistic abilities are proliferating.

Thanks to this project, I am able not only to be productive 1/7 of the time, but here lies the roots of my confidence in people and in myself. Before joining the gallery, I was the role model of shut-ins, those who think they are pinnacles of laziness, and those who don't wish to have any presence. Fortunately this opportunity came along my way; with closed doors behind my back, an opened door with light behind it was new and exciting to me. That's how it felt like joining this project.

To be honest, it's very difficult for me to write this artist profile. Positively commenting about yourself is like taking gratuitious selfies. Sadly, my ego (which is actually as huge as Jupiter) decided not to kick in right now. Still, in my less than humble opinion, I am glad to be considered by my peers not only as an artist, but a person who has potential to reach out to others, and maybe someday, the world.
