Ming Yeung

There is an artist that comes to mind when we think of wildlife and nature. Her works are captivating, composed, and lively. In her paintings, one can see the animals' emotions and actions expressed through her versatile brushstrokes. While another notices the beauty and vividness of plants brought to life. Her birds are poised and striking. Critters jump to life and are full of energy. Ming's art covers an expansive area of the natural world - the animal kingdom and botanicals. Her works showcase her ability to frame nature in a beautiful, minimalistic way.

In 2015, it was her first time to start painting the majestic giants (rhinos) on her rice paper. The beautiful portrayal of the world's rare northern white rhinos first touched down at Richmond's City Centre Community Centre for a three month painting exhibition in January 2016. Since then, she started teaching a variety of art classes for all ages at the center. Some of her classes focus on wildlife painting and 3D animal paper arts, which aim to raise awareness of the need to protect and maintain healthy ecosystems for wildlife.

After achieving an 'Artistic Innovation' award in 2019, Ming has continued her ongoing art project 'Art for the World's Endangered Species' through exhibitions and teaching. She has been promoting her style of Chinese painting through exhibitions, teaching classes, artist demonstrations, and interviews in the Lower Mainland since 2002. She is an exceptional artistic person with a very deep commitment to her Chinese Free Style painting style and her unwavering commitment to the world's endangered wildlife species. In 2019, her creation 'Wildlife in the City' was displayed in the Art Column on Number 3 road. The work aims to raise awareness of species at risk for future generations. We protect wildlife because they inspire us.
