Hsiang-Ting Yen

CONTEMPORARY PRECIOUS
Raleigh, NC

Hsiang-Ting Yen is a Taiwanese immigrant and a graduate of the Savannah College of Art & Design. We first met Hsiang-Ting at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show, which had begun hosting art school booths from both Philadelphia and Georgia. I purchased a piece from Hsiang-Ting that first time, and at a following show, my mother did so as well.

Her early work drew inspiration from traditional Chinese painting techniques, and these beautiful floral brooches, topped by a butterfly drawing nectar, are deeply compelling.
