Dr. Yufeng Wang

Dr. Yufeng Wang is a professor and Chinese brush painting and ceramic artist. As a teenager, her love of traditional Chinese art was inspired by renowned artists Sun Qifeng and Fan Zeng in Tianjin. Her artwork desires to create and reflect a sense of peace and harmony in nature and humanity.

Dr. Wang's ceramic vase "Four Seasons" with underglaze painting received first place in the Dayton Painters and Sculptors show in 2015. Her ceramic artwork, "Li River,'' was awarded the Burnell Roberts Purchase Award in 2015 and is in the permanent collection of Sinclair College. In 2012, Wright State University held a personal art exhibition for Dr. Wang, Seasons in Harmony, showcasing 26 pieces of her paintings.

Recently, the University of Dayton commissioned her to make a ceramic sculpture, Love and Grace, which is a Chinese rendering of the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus. With ancient Chinese dress and the traditional character of Love as a centerpiece of the decoration, the sculpture conveys universal love, grace, and tranquility.

Dr. Wang enjoys sharing Chinese art and culture. She made many art presentations and workshops in the community and local schools including the Dayton Art Museum, the Dayton International Peace Museum, and more.
