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."
