Grade 11, École Dr Charles Best Secondary School, BC

My name is Eliana (Elly) and I was born and raised in Canada, British Columbia while the rest of my family comes from Taiwan. My birthday is on the 1st of January! Making me 17 years old this year. I am currently a high school student working towards my dream of becoming a dental hygienist. Beyond my professional goals I enjoy expressing myself through arts, crafts and as well as dancing, generally anything art-related. My artworks usually delve into themes of cultural identity, bridging the gap between my Canadian upbringing and Taiwanese roots. With every piece, I aim to not only convey my personal experiences but also inspire others to embrace their own cultural heritage. Through my dual passions for dental hygiene and art, I strive to make a meaningful impact on both individuals and communities as well as to convey meaningful lessons to individuals and spread positivity and joy through my artwork!
