Over 10 local and expat residents participated in a painting workshop hosted by Kiara Lynn Garcia Hernandez from the United States on May 12. The event was the first in the “Everyone is An Artist” series organized by Nanshan International Cultural Exchange & Service Center (NSIC).

An art lover, Hernandez enjoys drawing and painting her imagination and ideas. 

Hernandez came to China for a job two years ago, now she is learning Chinese. About one year ago, the American was introduced to the world of oil painting and had been fascinated by drawing paintings since then.
