Artist Julia Wang, a fourth-generation disciple of the Lingnan School, reveals the historical significance of this influential movement in Chinese ink painting, tracing its roots to ancient times. During this ArtBreak, Wang will focus on the work of artists who attained preeminence in various styles, highlighting the wide-reaching influence of the Lingnan School on modern Chinese art of the 20th century. 

In both her painting and her teaching, Julia Wang bridges the traditional and the modern with an openness that engages diverse forms of Western and Asian art. Proficient in both classical Chinese painting and Western oil painting, she teaches audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
