Hello, I'm Yue Zeng.

Yue Zeng is a Chinese-American self-taught artist​,​ mother​,​ and wife​,​ who has been living in the United States since 2008 and currently resides in Woodbury​,​ Minnesota. Zeng’s artistic practice focuses on oil painting​,​ with her subjects mainly being mythical creatures and animals. With a style between impressionism and fantasy​,​ she explores the vividness of their spirit in saturated colours and organic forms. Zeng’s interest in the arts started in elementary school​,​ sparking her desire to create later in life. In her twenties she obtained her Masters in Science from Suny College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse​,​ New York. In 2017 due to physical complications​,​ Zeng had to leave the chemistry industry. Transformed by the experience​,​ she decided to revisit her art practice and make it her career regardless of the obstacles she would face. Since then​,​ Zeng has flourished in her artistic expression​,​ finding her true passion in oil painting. Although Zeng explores other painting mediums such as gouache​,​ pastel​,​ and digital​,​ oil and canvas feels the most natural. This medium allows her to relax and be free with the changeability of the material and exploration of colour within the subjects she paints.
