About the Artist: Jen Cho
From an early age, I was captivated by the art of crafting. Watching my mother skillfully create beautiful pieces sparked my curiosity and inspired me to explore various artistic mediums. While delving into sewing during school, I discovered the joy of transforming fabrics into unique and personal creations. These experiences laid the foundation for my lifelong love affair with crafts.
As I honed my creative skills, I also encountered physical challenges. However, crafting served as a sanctuary, providing solace and therapeutic benefits for my mental and emotional well-being. It became a form of self-expression and a means to overcome obstacles, fostering resilience and personal growth. Creative hobbies have profoundly impacted my life, extending far beyond the physical act of making something with my hands. They have become a powerful tool for personal development, boosting my mental and emotional well-being and allowing me to overcome challenges.
I am excited to bring this passion to a role where I can share my expertise and contribute to a creative and vibrant environment. Teaching workshops and guiding individuals through the creative process has been a transformative experience. Seeing their artistic abilities flourish and witnessing their sense of accomplishment is a source of great joy.
