About

I'm a visual artist obsessed with optimism. Originally from California, now living in New York. This is a space where I think through and share notes on art, art worlds, transparency, positive psychology, and my process.

I’m launching a new project with @cacollegeofarts, bridging CCA students with students at @leenewcomerschool_sfusd. If you’re a CCA student, you’re invited to participate! All CCA students are welcome. (Mandarin-speaking students are especially welcome! My terrible Cantonese will be practically useless! 😂)

I’ve been 🤐 and am so 😅to finally share this news 😃! I am SO honored and pleased to be a public artist-in-residence, working with seniors at @EncoreCommunityServices this spring to develop flags 🏳that commemorate their sources of resilience. Thank you 🙏🏾 @TSQArts and @_jeanie_c for believing in me, and encouraging me to dream big. Art has and always will be my first love, and still getting to walk this road and seeing where it takes me means the world to me. Thanks to @pannyc for creating this beautiful animated design with my calligraphy. 💓

Tomorrow night, I’ll be doing my first online solo exhibition walk-thru (!?) / artist talk. In the spirit of never-not-learning, I took this opportunity to reveal more of the process / making-of / #BTS of these #socialpractice projects. The exhibition features three projects on belonging spanning SF Bay and Albuquerque, New Mexico. I also created a new transmedia ’story-map’ crafting a virtual journey of 12 places of belonging, organized around three fundamental human needs: safety, satisfaction, and connection.

Upcoming 5/18: Fermata

May 15, 2007cwongyapArt previews Leave a comment

Got a sneak peek at Fermata, the upcoming exhibition at the Berkeley Art Museum featuring MFA candidates at UC Berkeley’s Studio Art program. Jenifer K. Wofford‘s tight guoache paintings form a non-linear narrative around an Filipina immigrant nurse. It’s part-graphic novel, part narrative installation.
