This year I celebrated the New Year with my husband and son, as we always do. But, this year we also had a guest. My son’s friend, Wenwei stayed with us a few days while her car was being repaired after it broke down while she was on her way to our house. Wenwei is a graduate student at NIU, and I found out she’s also a talented artist! She shared some of her art with me and allowed me to share it with you. She said she does the drawings and clay figures because it’s fun. Wenwei is Chinese and one of the drawings is of Tian’an Men Square in Beijing, China. The clay piece is a figure about Illinois. Wenwei likes to travel and represents that in her art. One of the sketches shows a dog named Cammie Traveling Around the World wearing a pink backpack with a Leica camera around her neck, because Wenwei said her own backpack is pink and she’d like to get a Leica camera in the future. One drawing represents The Bean at Millenium Park. The other drawings are of places she’s visited, kind of like a travel journal of drawings. Thank you Wenwei!!
