Creative and Adapted

Anger, Emotional & Strength

My name is Khin T Paing. I was born and raised in Burma. When I was one year old, I was sick and the doctor gave me a shot. I got Polio on my left side from my hip to leg. Whenever I walk, I limp. I moved to the United States of America when I was 24. I struggled a lot but I get through everything. I graduated from Otis Art & Design as a painter. I joined YMCA and finally became a water aerobic teacher. I joined the US Master team for swimming a few years ago. From now and then I have participated in paralympic swimming events. I became an Impressionist and Abstract painter and muralist. I am a painter, adapted swimmer and water aerobic teacher. I am looking forward to more opportunities in my life.
