Biography
Wendy Tan is passionate about art since young, which has never stopped her from developing herself in that direction. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with Distinction in Painting from RMIT in Australia.
Tan’s works have been greatly influenced by nature. She loves small flowers and plants - particularly dry and curly leaf. She said, “they are small but may still have their unique values that are yet attractive. For example, they own beautiful detailed lines, textures, and forms; however, we easily ignore as we do not pay close attention to them. Only if we magnify them, their insignificant values apprear to attract our attention." Her works bring to us a strong implication about how our daily lives should be blessed from the social, critical and political perspectives.
She received extensive awards in her career life from different organisations around the world, including the “Best of Show” Award from Yosemite Museum Gallery, the "Best of Photographer" Award from Forum Magazine, the Cash/Merit Awards from municipal Arts Councils, and the Art Study Tour Award in Switzerland.
She has exhibited her artworks, in form of solo or group, in many prestigious occasions such as The Huntington (Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens) in San Marino, CA, Yosemite Museum Gallery in Yosemite, CA, Kings Arts Center in Hanford, CA, Carnegie Art Center in Turlock, CA, Gallery 5 at Gallery Row, Oakhurst,CA, Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dannis, MA, Wallowa Valley Arts Council in Joseph, OR, Mark Arts in Wichita, KS, CityArts Art Gallery in Wichita KS, Wesleyan University Art Center in Salina KS, Hays Arts Councils in Hays, KS, and Fine Art Asia in Hong Kong.
