She also engages in printmaking and poetry writing. Initially trained as a philosopher, Wang has a master\u2019s degree in philosophy with major interest in political philosophy and the philosophy of mind. Wang holds two MFA degrees, one in Painting and the other in Photography. She studied photography and painting with artist Lon Clark under the New York School tradition between 2004 and 2009. Later she studied painting with Philadelphia colorist Bill Scott and Jan Baltzell. Her work has won numerous prizes and has been exhibited nationally in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The complexity of experiences\u2014both within and without\u2014and the underlying metaphors brought about through seeing, sensing, observing, reverie, and dreams and memories are central to Wang\u2019s work, which are unfolded through the correlation of gestural form and color in her work.<\/p>\n<p>A colorist at heart, color and light are her language. Through the approach of all-over painting that forms the pictorial space with the abstract structure of figurative imagery, Wang\u2019s work is both multi-layered and experiential. Hence, her work requires patient engagement and prolonged seeing. When viewed from various angles, the nuances of color relation and gestural movement in her painting begin to shift and merge into a new entity where each form impregnates with new forms creating a multi-faceted visual narrative.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=&#8221;\u85dd\u8853\u5bb6\u7c21\u4ecb&#8221;

It is both a timeless and a temporal pursuit. I work from both observation and imagination. My purpose is to create a sensate equivalent of my experience through insight into a world of form, color and space. This is a transformative process &#8211; engaging a visual energy and qualities of emotional tension through the dynamics of visual syntax, which in turn creates feeling and narrative. It is the unification of both the cognitive and sensate that makes this experience of visual discovery meaningful to me.<\/p>\n<p>I see drawing as the perception and fixing of structure; I see painting as drawing with color \u2013 and to me, color is light. I work toward creating an equivalent of the visual forces I experience in my subject \u2013 physical or symbolic &#8211; through the qualities of paint. I am exploring the idea of \u201call over painting\u201d \u2013 a construction that is worked throughout the canvas and out to the edges without a focal point per se. As a part of this process, I am attracted to a compressed pictorial space formed through the abstract structure of figurative imagery.<\/p>\n<p>Being a painter involves communicating with the continuum of painting &#8211; in finding the living past. My work references both modernist and classic Asian painting spatially. It also requires the searching out of one\u2019s authentic self, a quality that can only originate in one\u2019s response to one\u2019s own time.<\/p>\n<p>As a visual artist, for me seeing is touching, seeing is feeling and truly seeing is knowing.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,3_4&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|27px|0px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">On Photography<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<section id=\"content\" class=\"wide-content\">\n<div id=\"main\" class=\"wrapper\">\n<div class=\"grid_9\">\n<p>Photography&#8217;s potential as visual art is to draw with light, and this is the intent of my work.
