Flora Chang says this about herself and art: I was born in Taipei, Taiwan. I love to draw since I was a little kid and have always dreamed to be able to draw for a living someday. My parents were both teachers and very creative. Growing up, I remember going to different classes and workshops with my mom, and she was always making stuff with her hands, even until this day. They have always fostered my creativity, but at the same time, they did not want me to grow up to be a starving artist. Thus I didnt pursuit an art education until I decided to go to San Francisco in 1998. (Those three years in San Fran are among the best years of my life.) I graduated in 2001 from Academy of Art University with an MFA degree in graphic design and was hired by Hallmark Cards before my graduation. I have now lived and worked in Kansas City as a full time designer & illustrator for almost 12 years, making childrens products. I love my job; my office is like a big art school where I work and learn from many artists everyday.
