LUCY LIEW BIOGRAPHY

Liew was awarded a San Jose City Branch Library Project in 2004 ( California ). Her work has been featured internationally in numerous solo and group exhibitions, as well as in various private collections around the world and corporate collections including Bank of America, Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Petronas National Oil Corporation. Liew's work is also in the permanent collection of the National Art Gallery in Malaysia .

Liew has developed her own signature, adopting the traditional native art motifs of Borneo as a language to express her themes. Over the years her subject matter has taken a variety of forms, both figurative and abstract; but at the heart of all Liew's work is the celebration of beauty in life and nature. In her recent work the artist has begun to approach these themes on a grander scale to create multi-panel works and larger canvases. Liew's figurative works are about her journey of discovery as a woman coming from an Eastern culture integrating with life in America . These works focus on the universality of the human spirit.

Liew currently resides and works in San Jose , California . When she is not painting, she holds workshops and teaches art in her studio, Lucy Liew Art.
