The local MP has new piece of artwork to hang in his office after a visit to the new Global Fest and more recently the New Directions English Language School.

It started with a stop at the New Directions booth at the Global Fest in 91Ô­´´ City earlier this month, where he entered their draw. Turns out he won a painting by ESL teacher Judy Han.

Han is now busy preparing for Arts Alive coming up this Saturday, along the one-way section of Fraser Highway, in downtown 91Ô­´´ City.

Han, a Korean immigrant and poet, finds inspiration for her art in nature. Her paintings are influenced by the masters Van Gogh and Monet.

Like more than a hundred other artist and artisan participating in the one-day outdoor arts festival, Han will be showcasing and selling her work to the public. She’ll be at the New Directions booth.
