"I WANT A YOUNG PERSON TO WALK IN MY EXHIBITION AND UNDERSTAND THAT FAILURE DOES NOT MEAN THE END. PAINTING IS WHERE GOD IS LEADING ME. SO, I HAVE HAD TO BREAK AWAY FROM WHAT OTHERS HAD IN MIND FOR ME AND BECOME OKAY WITH MY MISTAKES," SHE AFFIRMED. GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE RESILIENT MAKINGS OF QUIANA PARKS.
