"Flower Children of the Cosmos" - By Jennifer Cheng Lo in Collaboration with Leanne Claxton for The Karen Leung Foundation

This collaboration with Jennifer Cheng Lo incorporated her natural artistic ability and creativity with Leanne Claxton’s guidance, talent, and vision for interweaving their world views and philosophies together.

Jennifer used a pencil to sketch a photo of honeysuckles that Leanne had taken at Hong Kong Park. Jennifer had fond memories of the smell and taste of Honeysuckle, as bees and butterflies love this flower and also it was native in the New England Region she grew up; often, when hiking with family in nature, she would use a honeysuckle for a quick snack, drinking nectar from the tuber as she and her brother Vincent were taught to do. Jennifer worked on a pencil sketch, colored version, as well as an ink drawing of the honeysuckle as she and Leanne both had their own lenses and periods of life inspiration and memories through which they experienced the Honeysuckle.
