Lin Wei was born in China, and now she is a California artist.
Wei Lin’s painting style derives from academic realism, but mixes and softens with the bold colors and simple patterns of Chinese folk art. This mixture animates her canvases, and yet grounds them in personal experiences. Her ethic is hard work, which is why she is a respected teacher of art to children. Her themes are immigration to America, Chinese family values, the ambition of women, and the liberty and discipline of being an artist. That’s what she came here to be.
