Artist Biographies

PHOEBE SHIH

In the early 1950s, Phoebe Shih emigrated to America from China to fulfill her desire to fuse Chinese art with Western art. Using vibrant colors, often pinks and magentas, and painting with exquisite attention to detail, Shih manages to reflect European and American culture in her artwork, while maintaining the Chinese influence with the delicacy of her brushstrokes.

Shih says of her adopted homeland, America, "It is free - ideal for artists."
