Anita Yan Wong's latest exhibition, “Feathered Elegance, Asian American Bird Art,” is currently on display at Blakely Hall, inviting art lovers to explore her vibrant creations. Known for her unique “contemporary traditional” style, Wong draws inspiration from her Asian heritage, which is evident in her expressive brush strokes and captivating depictions of birds. The exhibition showcases a variety of artworks that reflect both the beauty of nature and Wong's personal connection to her cultural identity.
