Born and educated in Taiwan , Lin Ching Peng earned a bachelor degree of Fine Arts from the Chinese Culture University . She had learned how to draw and paint since she was child. Lin lives in Palo Alto, California. Now she is an art instructor and professional artist.

Lin’s paintings have been exhibited in South Bay Art Festival, Pacific Art League of Palo Alto , Silicon Valley Artist Open Studio, and AVArt Fest2002, andArt21 Gallery. She has created many works of art in watercolor and pastel, but her absolute favorite is painting in oil. Lin spends a lot of time studying light, value, color, perspective, and composition. She has excellent craftsmanship and artistic quality which make her paintings lyric and beautiful. Lin is a great admirer of nature so landscapes are her favorite subject to paint. The land, trees, hills, mountains, water, and sky express her feelings and emotions, so her paintings have life and movement as if they are real. The landscape paintings were painted in location such as open space preserves, parks, ocean view, vineyards and some suburban area. Lin’s landscape paintings present the California scene with color harmony, light, energy, composition, and sense of atmosphere. One of her landscape oil painting called “Hazy Morning” Won a special Achievement Award which is Award of Excellence - Top Five from AVArt fest2002 at Triton Museum of Art Santa Clara, California.

      

She also loves to paint floral and still life. Lin only paints something that inspires her. In order to achieve the perfect mood, Lin spends hours to set up a still life arrangement. Her still life paintings represent good composition, quality of light, color vibration, and airy depth. She blends the oriental thought with the western skill and knowledge which presents a unique personal style.

 

Lin has many years teaching experience. Before coming to US, she was an art teacher in Shing-Shing Tech. & Commercial Professional School. She has drawing class and oil painting class. The students’ ages are from 6 to adult. Lin is member of Pacific Art League of Palo Alto, Los Altos Art Club, and Los Gatos Art Association.
