Born in 1990, Ms. Fan Lu's artistic journey uniquely blends personal and spiritual exploration. Her diverse work experience in Business schools and education institutes culminated in a bold decision in 2016 to leave a full-time job at the Natural History Museum and pursue painting in the USA. She perceives painting as a divine calling, a significant task entrusted to her by God. Her art is a profound celebration of God's awe-inspiring creation in nature, a testament to the spiritual aspect of her work. Ms. Fan Lu draws inspiration and rejuvenation from God's word as she prays and paints. Her artistic exploration spans various Fine Art and Illustration styles, from small sketchbooks to large canvases. Fan's mission is to inspire others through her intuitive and spontaneous artwork, sharing her journey of overcoming depression through the healing power of art. She also strives to spread positive messages, encouraging people to appreciate and show gratitude for nature and life and seek inner peace and joy through faith in God.
Fan Lu has excellent intuition and good intentions in education and art; she gave birth to her son during the years of her second master's degree and understood his husband's career change in the most difficult family times. Fan Lu is highly self-motivated to develop her ideas in many aspects, learning and working while taking responsibility as a homeschooled mother. Turning to God, holding with her trust and prayers, she finally regains real inner strength and peace with confidence and clearance. God qualifies who he calls, and being a woman after God, she flourishes in a faith-based art journey and the experimental life. She was blessed to have a husband, Dr. Ge Bai (Samuel), who is patient and knowledgeable with a sense of humor, a listening heart, mutual respect with independence, encouraging support, understanding, and love. Together with their son, Bamboo, the whole family walks in faith to fulfill God's purpose for life with well-being.
