Falling into art after falling out of a 9 year relationship. An apartment burning down. Painting a mural for Kevin Hart. Cambodian-Lao artist Olivia Sawai, going more frequently by Sawai to preserve her family legacy, summarizes her past year as being in a turbulent washing cycle. But the Long-Beach native is a baddie-a new season offered new opportunities for Sawai, allowing her to pivot away from a teaching career and towards art. Her work can be seen at Starbucks, Prism Boutique, and Kevin Hart’s plant-based restaurant My Hart House. Grief may last for the night, but joy comes in the morning 🌱. A perfect episode to digest during a season of giving thanks.
Cheers 🍵🍵,
Sawai and Melissa 👯♀️
