Artist – Ms. Lee Mei Jin

Ms. Lee Mei Jin born in Taiwan commenced her art studies in 2000 and then moved forward to fulfill her dream to becoming an artist. However, her busy work schedule occupied her time until 2006 when she picked up her pens and restarted her creative world. To improve her painting abilities, Ms. Lee from 2009 studied in the evenings with Mr. Chen Tong Liang and then in 2012 with artist Qiu Yì Ying to find her own way between classicists and impressionism. After retiring, she focuses on oil painting and creates many amazing art pieces.

Having studied with famous artists, she is also talented, filled with passion and works very hard. Although her artworks do not sell very often in the Market; many art collectors have named Ms. Lee as one of the most potential artists. You can find the colorful but calm, soft but firm elements throughout her paintings.

 

油畫作者 李美金女士

李美金女士2000年初提筆學畫，跟沈建德老師學基礎素描，從此只要有空就提筆塗鴉，繼而接觸粉彩蠟筆開啟自幼習畫的夢想。後因工作忙碌又間斷，直至2006年又再提筆沉浸於繪畫之中。2009年自我精進至師大跟隨陳彤亮老師學習古典基礎畫派，奠定油畫基礎；李女士心儀嚮往印象派的畫風色彩，2012年後跟隨邱奕穎老師學習，在古典與印象派的意念畫風中尋求自己的方向風格，筆觸溫柔而深刻，2012年退休後全力投入所好，專注且用心於油畫世界。

李美金女士師承名家，其畫作極其細緻用心，畫風可圈可點、前景可期；作品極少在市場流通，卻被收藏家爭相珍藏，更被譽為潛力十足的藝術作者，其作品色彩豐富卻洗鍊，筆觸溫柔又堅定，傳達出撫慰人心的情懷。
