Born in Beijing, China, Joanne Wang developed an interest in Chinese art and calligraphy at an early age. Since coming to America, she has drawn artistic inspiration from the Western tradition. In her work one sometimes sees the serenity and tranquility of Chinese traditional painting, and other times an adventurous foray into abstraction, as a mode of aesthetic freedom. Individual worlds arise as the result of particular occasions and emotions, which explains the wide range of subjects and moods, from classical serenity to modernist dynamism. She divides her time between NY and RI.
