Ellen Hsiao
Born in China, Ellen Hsiao immigrated to the United States at the age of ten. She studied at New York University under Esteban Vincente and later received her BFA from Cooper Union in New York City, with graduate work at Pratt Institute. Since 1990, she has been studying classical Chinese calligraphy. Though her paintings reflect her Western upbringing and education, she feels a strong affinity for the Chinese Literati tradition where art is created for oneself and a few friends, with the belief that the way to better one's "art" is to work on one's understanding and spirit first. Hsiao has exhibited in many galleries in New York City. Her works are in public and private collections including the Cooper-Hewitt Museum and the City University of New York.
