 此次疫情期间再一次删减个人简历，本是轻如草芥，转瞬即逝的生命被太多缠绕，会使她⽆法舞动和飘扬。

Wu Yang was born in 1962, in the bustling city of Beijing. As an artist, she stated that her innermost feelings are very romantic and mysterious, and she portrays these feminine aspects in her artworks.

 Wu Yang started to receive proper art education at 15 years old, then at 19, Yang obtained her first job in the Beijing Second Textile Printing Factory as a textile designer. As Yang continued her career of art, she preserves this unforgettable experience of her first job as textile designer, and draws many inspirations from this point in her life. 

In 1985, she was admitted in to the Central Academy of Fine Arts and Design (Newly named as QingHua University) where she graduated with the Master Degree. Three years later, Yang journeys to Britain to study abroad, where she majors in the fashion and textile design, and is employed as a designer in many British fashion companies. 

In 2002, Wu Yang has returned to Beijing and obtained a position as an art professor in the National People’s Congress Academy, though she also resigns from the job. Soon, to start a family and settle down, she married and had 2 daughters. She continued her art career whilst caring for her daughters, and in 3 years time, she produced a set of ink and color picture books and dedicated them as gift to her 2 newly born girls. 

Afterwards, Yang and her family immigrated to Canada where she took up oil painting. She dedicated her time to painting, and soon produced numerous artworks and displayed them at many different art exhibits. They also participated in many art competitions, winning numerous awards in “Federation of Canadian Artists” and “Chinese Canadian Artist Federation in Vancouver”.

Using practical techniques to create magnificent masterpieces, her paintings and pen works brought her iconic designs into the world of art. With gentle, brilliant strokes, her masterpieces seem to stretch into another world.
