Memorable piece that I made of Emily who is my art student. I created this painting during this time of pandemic. I hope this painting brings you comfort and hope as it did to me and Emily.

Janice Yang is a figurative painter and illustrator. She was originally born in Connecticut, but moved to South Korea at the age of four, and later returned to the U.S. at the age of sixteen. This cross-cultural experience has had an enormous impact on her life and work. She became interested in the human condition, the overlapping cultures and transformations that the world encounters. Janice’s figurative work combines narratives, symbolic objects, and abstract patterns. The process of art making has become her way of communicating with the world to explore and find her cultural identity. She is interested in painting about people that are immigrants or children of immigrant families in the U.S. that face challenges to find the sense of identity.
