Drawing On The Past: Maria Nguyen

maria-nguyen

Here’s another gorgeous submission to our “Drawing On The Past” project with Herschel Supply. Thank you to Maria Nguyen! I featured her work (see here) after she submitted back in April.

She writes: “This is Linh Nguyen, my sister. Growing up with Linh was not the easiest thing in the world because of her illness. She would constantly follow me around and did everything I did. I constantly got annoyed but looking back I realized her willingness to learn and explore was like no other. I am still trying to learn how to be like her every day. Thanks to her I see the tremendous value of human life and the importance of not taking people for granted.”
