Honolulu's Narcissus Queen to speed paint on 'Ellen' tomorrow

Advertiser Staff

Reigning 2009 Narcissus Queen Lisa Wong will be on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" tomorrow, demonstrating the speed painting skill that made videos of her pageant performance spread across the Internet.

The 26-year-old from Nu'uanu graduated from Iolani School and received a bachelor's degree in studio art from Wellesley College.

She impressed judges with a unique talent: creating a Bruce Lee portrait — upside down, no less — in just a couple minutes, including the dance and martial arts moves that accompanied her brush strokes.

"Ellen" airs on KITV at 3 p.m
