| Details: | As a self-taught, unconventional, and whimsical artist, Cecilia Chiang does not believe in restrictions in art; her work spans across all mediums and all matters ranging from painted portraiture to sculpture. In terms of making art, Chiang believes that factors like degrees, age, interests, gender, or nationality do not matter as long as you have the courage to pick up a paintbrush and try. Whiskers and Paws, an excerpt of Chiang’s nature-focused work, primarily serves as a nod to her childhood. While Chiang grew up in a large family of nine, she also had a cat and dog. As the children in the Chiang family grew older and became more independent – from moving away to becoming preoccupied with school – Chiang’s mother, lonely and hard-working, embraced the animals’ company. Their companionship often granted her a sense of solace from supporting the Chiang household.
