LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Shopping and dining are what come to mind when talking about Disney Springs, but it’s also a vibrant art scene.

Disney Springs continues to add to the celebration of diversity with the Disney Springs Art Walk: A Canvas of Expression. Located at Town Center, the art walk is a popular feature that showcases the creative works of diverse artists.

Houston artist Emily Ding recently painted “Taking Flight” in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

“My piece ‘Taking Flight’ is about finding one’s own way whether it seems impossible or not,” said Ding.

Disney has been a huge inspiration behind Ding’s work and one of the few role models she had growing up was animated Mulan.

“Being a grown-up myself, I am honored to be a representation of what we can achieve no matter what our backgrounds are,” Ding said.
