Birthplace: Ubon, Thailand
I came to America at the age of 2, my father was in the Air Force. I spent most of my life in Florida when my father retired, raised mainly by my Grandmother. My childhood consisted of modeling, gymnastics, dance, music, and of course art. Spent my school years In any art class I could get enrolled in, Was a typical Art and Band geek for a while, lol yeah I played the flute, But I was no angel in my teenage years, lol ok I'm no angel now. My experience in life has taught me where true love and beauty comes from. It's easy to make mistakes in life, but to forgive someone for them is what love is all about. It takes a real beautiful person on the inside to forgive the ones that hurt them the most. I lost my grandmother to cancer at the age 18. My biggest regret was not being mature enough to handle it over the years before and the years after. That is what the Crying Rose represents. Trying to find out who I was and struggling with the depression, because of my Grandmothers cancer. When it was time for me to finally bloom into a young woman, It was too late, the one I cherished the most passed away. Years went on and I felt myself tumbling backwards for years after. I don't think my family ever put 2 and 2 together on why I was the black sheep of the family. Kids should been seen and heard, don't ignore them. Now the Crying Rose it is a symbol, just as I lost the one I loved the most, I gained another, my daughter, she is truly the love of my life. You wanted to know who I was. That is only a glimpse; my life has always been complicated. Through it all though if were any different I wouldn't have known my daughter.
