Maya lin—modern genius

Few people in this world are so blessed with talent that they literally change the way the rest of us look at things, yet artist, architect and activist Maya Lin is one of those people. Although only in her 40’s she has a body of work that the most talented artist and architects could only dream of reaching if they lived 10 lives. From the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery to being the featured subject matter of an Oscar award winning documentary film about her work, Lin has been nothing but extraordinary. Her work has been created on grand scale for public consumption and at times shown only in the most intimate settings of small galleries. Her landscape art/architecture studies are so simple and yet absolutely genius that you can only study them in pure amazement of the mind that created them. It is from people like Maya Lin that those of us in the creative world are both humbled and inspired at the same time and. Take a moment from your day and just drink in some of the many projects that Ms. Lin has blessed with her creative eye and talents  at MayaLin.com.
