Growing up artsy in an Asian household

Alison Garwood-Jones September 20, 2017

This week on Willful, photographer Connie Tsang talks about:
• Growing up artsy in an Asian household
• The roots of her documenting, starting with her teen obsession with typing out Casey Kasem’s Top 40 countdown from the radio
• Creatives who make from scratch vs. those who document. Can they both be artists? 
Connie Tsang (@ConnieMTsang) is a Toronto-based artist and documentary photographer whose alternately quirky and deeply nostalgic take on life that has landed her photos in galleries in Toronto, Vancouver and New York, as well as books like, Sweet & Sour: Life in Chinese Family Restaurants and Neil Pasricha’s The Book of (Even More) Awesome. You can see her work at connietsangphotos.com.

Huge thanks to The Merchant Taps & Tavern and Mr. Greg Garson for hosting our series.
