Helen Liu
Helen Hui-ling Liu was born in Taiwan
in 1957. Helen spent most of her childhood in Taiwan, and lived in Indonesia and
Thailand with her parents as a teenager. She came to the United States for her
college education and graduated from the Pacific Northwest College of Art with a
Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Graphic Design. She later received
a master of Arts degree in International Studies from the the University of
Oregon. Her MA thesis on a Taiwanese folk craft, entitled Up In Flames, the
Ephemeral Art of Pasted-Paper Sculpture in Taiwan, is published by Stanford
University Press in March, 2004.
While working as a graphic designer
since receiving her BFA, Helen continued to paint and draw. In the summer of
1997, she spent three months in Amsterdam with her husband and daughter.
Inspired by the art she saw there, she decided to paint full-time and now only
takes on occasional design work. Helen lives in Eugene, Oregon with her husband,
Glenn May, daughter, Rachel, and son, Benjamin.
