Wai Ming is an internationally esteemed artist, born in Canton, China in 1938. Wai Ming grew up in Hong Kong, and in 1974 came to San Francisco in the United States which led him to a place of very high recognition in the art world.
"Seldom has the impact of an artist been so immediate as that of Wai Ming on his arrival in San Francisco from Hong Kong in 1974. His artistic sensitivity is combined with a startling realism that has caught the attention of the public. His four paintings that he displayed at Swanson Art Gallery in San Francisco for the first time in 1975 were all sold within the first day. Not only has the demand for his work grown steadily, but he is acknowledged by many as one of the Bay Area's leading artist." -waiming.com
