Lena Liu
is a
painter of unparalleled popularity in today's collectibles market - art
lovers the world over enjoy the universal yet personal character of her
paintings. Beautiful birds, tranquil landscapes, and breathtaking floral
and musical still life are among her collector's favorites.
Lena had her first painting lessons as a child in Taiwan under the
guidance of renowned painters: Professors Sun Chia-Chin and Huang Chun-Pi.
She came to the United States in 1972 to study architecture at the State
University of Buffalo, and later did graduate work at the School of
Architecture at U. C. L. A. However, her true passion never left her, and in
1977, she began to paint full-time.
Today, avid collectors of her work enjoy it across various media,
including limited-edition prints, porcelain collector's plates, ornaments,
figurines, music boxes, sculptures, cards, tapestries, bookmarks, and
calendars. Lena has achieved recognition at national shows and exhibits.
She was honored by the Collector's Information Bureau (CIB) as Best Plate
Artist of the Year and as Collector's Choice Artist of the Year. She was
named the Canadian Artist of the Year at the Canadian Collectible of the
Year Awards. Lena was also an inaugural inductee into the prestigious
Bradford Exchange Plate Artist Hall of Fame.
Lena Liu and her husband Bill live in Maryland, in the home she designed
to accommodate their joint loves of art, music, and nature. As often as she
is able, Lena spends time in her garden where she attains inspiration for
many of her paintings. She also loves to watch the birds that live around
her home and studio. Although Lena appreciates the loveliness of all
birds, she admits to liking chickadees the most, "maybe because they
remind me of small children, with their round little bodies and cute
expressions."
