Salina Ting was born and raised in Rhode Island and attended the Cranston Bible Chapel, and Salvation Army with her family. She finds joy in working with children, so there was no doubt that being a nursery worker at Community Church of Providence was the right fit. Aside from this, she is prideful about her role as a shift lead at the Creative Reuse Center, which goes hand in hand with being an abstract artist. Salina and her daughter Sophia can often be found getting into a new art project.
