A fashion designer based in New York, Wang paints during the evenings and weekends when she is not working. Her paintings, usually ink on rice paper, are abstract human figures, whose emotions are suggested through subtle poses and forms. Wang has been painting since 1983, her admiration for the work of Tapies, Beuys and Warhol setting parameters for the direction of her work.
Born 1971, Singapore.
