Though a carver for over 30 years, Jung-fa Lai has never lost his passion. His persistence and desire to create new things never changes. He says that much of the skill he has today has come about by learning from failure. Although today's society demands speed, Lai believes that patience is the virtue that helps crafters turn out fine art. He wants every one of his works to be artistic and profound, so that they can attract buyers who are truly interested in the pieces they select.
