May 24, 2023 Image Minnetonka-based Wenwen Liao ’14, MFA, recently shared her art studio and practice with Kare 11. Through her work, Liao brings a modern touch to traditional Chinese painting. Liao learned the technique from her father, who she would observe as a child while he taught his students. She also uses her animation background to bring movement into each painting. "I want that one second of action stopped into the painting. So people, when they look at my painting, they can kind of create their own stories seeing the action," she says.
