FEALING LIN Award-winning watercolorist, Fealing Lin of San Marino, California, was born in Taiwan and began her journey into artistic expression as a protégé of renowned professor Ching-Jung Chen in Taiwan, subsequently pursuing her career in the United States with watercolorist and senior art historian professor Verna Wells. With a fluidity of colors, Ms. Lin combines realism, impressionistic strokes, and semi-abstract techniques to elicit life and movement in her floral and landscape watercolors. Her paintings adorn the paper with both harmony and emotion. Although briefly diverted from her passion by a family tradition of medicine and dentistry, Fealing ultimately abandoned her tray of instruments and high-speed drills in favor of her pallet and brushes. In just a few short years, her paintings have been widely recognized and exhibited. Said Professor William Blackshaw, President of the Royal Watercolor Society of England, “Fealing Lin paints poems that vibrate with light and color… long may she continue to delight the eye and move the spirit. “ My passion for watercolor”, says Ms. Lin, “comes from the opportunity it gives me to be totally spontaneous in the pursuit of traditional watercolor transparency which is the “glow” from the white paper that emerges through the paint once a fusion occurs from the application of wet onto wet”. Now a teacher, demonstrator, and active exhibitor, Fealing is an annual guest instructor at Yosemite National Park, an instructor at Brand Library in Glendale, Pasadena Community College, and also at her converted home studio. She is an annual exhibitor at Descanso Gardens (the most beautiful and prestigious garden in Southern California), Alhambra City Hall Gallery, as well as numerous other galleries and organizations. Fealing has been enthusiastically embraced by the general public and private collectors alike. Fealing’s works also have recently been judged in many national exhibits including the Western Colorado Watercolor Society; National Exhibition 2000; Louisville Arts Festival 2002 in Colorado; Watercolor West National 2003, and 2004; Eastern Washington Watercolor Society; National Exhibition 2003, and the Audubon Artists 61st Annual Exhibition 2003 in New York. Fealing still lives in San Marino with her husband, her youngest son, her dog - Husker, and cat - Olive.
