Praise him by blowing trumpets.
Praise him with harps and lyres.
Praise him with tambourines and dancing.
Praise him with stringed instruments and flutes.
-Psalm 150:3-4
要吹响号角赞美祂,
要弹琴鼓瑟赞美祂!
要击鼓跳舞赞美祂,
要拨弦吹笛赞美祂!
-诗篇 150:3-4
“A calm and peaceful and tranquil heart is life and health to the body.”
-Proverbs 14:30
"I’ve learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I’m just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I’ve found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am."
-Philippians 4:11-13
This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
- Psalms 118:24 -
这 是 祂 所 定 的 日 子,我 们 要 在 这 一 日 欢 喜 快 乐。
-诗 篇 118:24-

I am very grateful for everything, especially when I see Bamboo standing before my small sketchbook or large canvas. It is a witness to our growth with confidence in His Promise—all magic with faith. And dreams come true one by one in His perfect Timing. Praise the Lord. My son is now already carrying my large canvas roll, running in front of me, and it reminds me of myself running at the very beginning of my dreams. @FanLuArt
当儿子扛着我的画布奔跑在前,
让我想到我在梦想起点的时刻…
当儿子站在我的大大小小的画布与速写本前。
这都是美好的见证,
因祢应许不变,
在赞美中信心不断升起。
感谢赞美主!

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.

My name is Fan. In Chinese, 帆 is pronounced /fān/ and means "All is well" and "Sailing."My husband, Dr. Samuel Bai's Chinese name is 舸, pronounced (gě), and means "Big Boat." It seems a coincidence or fate to be ONE! I'm glad to share information about our family's Music and art education courses and ministry. My husband, Dr. Samuel Bai, and I are teaching musicians and teaching artists, and we have been dedicated to Music, art, education, and ministry for many years. I'm grateful and proud of our work for God and the vision God has placed in my heart. Our family works with God, and we are filled with courage, grace, mercy, and guidance, always maintaining steadfast faith in His calling!
We offer unique courses designed and taught by us as a husband and wife team. Our online and onsite courses cater to children (aged five and up) and adults. They are bilingual in Mandarin Chinese and English. My husband teaches all the musical instruments, while I teach all the art education courses; please check the list in the attached picture. Our specialty combines nature, science, literature, songwriting, and Music composing in our courses for different age groups. This approach provides a comprehensive learning experience in multidisciplinary, cross-cultural education and fosters creativity.
For the music part, my husband is very multidisciplinary in all subjects, so he is more focused on how Music conveys culture. With his excellent communication, extensive knowledge, sense of humor, and easygoing character, he is so much liked by his students! For the art part, my teaching philosophy is to Sow good seeds in the souls; The teacher is responsible for preparing the soil and planting the seed. Only a prepared mind is suitable. The influence and outcome are not a shortsighted view but for the long run to see in the future generations by generations. And I fully trust this point, so I only attract students or families with the same vision or mindset.
Aside from offering courses, our family is also involved in Music and art ministry. We share our worship music and art with churches and kid ministries locally in Alameda, SF Bay Area, and other churches in Asia.
During the pandemic, I hosted several free art lectures, inviting guest speakers from the USA, Finland, and China to talk about art therapy, expressive arts therapy, Music and dance education, nature art education, and Montessori education. My husband assisted me with translating the interpretation. One unique and featured online course to be mentioned is "Bilingual Storytime Music and Art." In 2020, my husband and I designed it for our son and his age group. During the pandemic, we offered a whole year of free monthly online "Bilingual Storytime Music and Art." Now, with the continuous development of the courses, more families and young children are benefiting from such blessings.
This year, we also started to offer gospel gifts, additional self-created educational resources, and more.
I have attached a video of our family, as walking in nature with Music and art is a massive element in our homeschooling and road schooling for our son. Nature is an excellent teacher and source of healing, inspiration, and gratitude. The video shows me painting and drawing outdoors while my husband plays Music and our son explores nature. The background music in the video is a worship song for Easter, composed and written by my husband, Dr.Samuel Bai, and our son sings with us together!
Whether you have young children or teenagers or are adults who appreciate our educational philosophy and teaching methods, we invite you to contact us for more information. You can also contact my husband or me directly to schedule a call to discuss.
Also, my husband, Dr. Bai, has offered private science and AP biology tutoring for years. Please email us first if you need help with science-related academics or want to develop your musical and artistic talents by finding a proper instructor and mentor or requesting a custom music art workshop, retreat, or collaboration.
Thank you, and blessings to you all.
