Jackson State University Assistant Art Professor Chung-Fan Chang is featured in an exhibition showing at the Mississippi Library Commission offices through Dec. 29.
A reception will he held to honor her work at 5 p.m. Thursday Nov. 20 at the commission offices, 3881 Eastwood Dr, Jackson, Miss., at the Mississippi Research and Development Center.
“My work is in abstract landscapes with colors that don’t exist in nature,” she said. “I’m really in love with nature, so I combine them.”
For example, she said, neon manmade colors might be interspersed with natural colors.
She said that she is influenced by traditional Chinese brush and ink painting, as one might see on rice paper.
Earlier this month, Chang had an exhibit at the Manhattan Art Gallery in the Asia Cultural Center in New York City.
In her fourth year at JSU, Chang teaches drawing, design and introduction to painting.
Chang earned her master of fine arts degree at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Savannah, Ga., and her bachelors of fine arts at Taipei National University of the Arts in Taiwan.
She received a grant as the 2013-14 Visual Arts Fellow at Mississippi Arts Commission, and was the recipient of ThinkTank 7 Emerging Educator Fellowship, Integrative Teaching International in Chicago.
