A professor’s job is to mold young minds and prepare them for their career.

One college art professor teaches her students to think outside the box.

 

Wangling Chou loves expressing herself through ceramics.

Her favorite muse is her goat.

Her life on the farm inspires her artwork.

 

WangLing Chou is an art professor at Louisiana Christian University.

She is originally from Taiwan.

But she feels at home in Central Louisiana.

She loves she can do her artwork in peace on the farm.

 

WangLing’s art is inspired by her love for animals.

In her home she currently has 25 animals.

WangLing enjoys the process of creating her hand-pressed goat ceramics.

 

She breathes life into trash by reusing things creatively.
