Biography - Eileen Fong

Eileen was born in China, raised in Hong Kong and then immigrated to Canada in 1968. After graduating from the B.C. Institute of Technology in Nuclear Medicine and Chemistry, Eileen began working in the field of health. Because she wanted to explore a new aspect of life and something related to her roots, she began studying Chinese brush painting in 1994, learning from several master painters throughout the years. Her love of nature coincides with the beautiful expressions of nature revealed in this art form.  As a member of several local art organizations, Eileen has held several solo exhibitions in B.C. and participated in many juried group shows locally and oversea including Spain and China. In 2014, Eileen participated in a cultural exchange group exhibition in Guiyang, China. In 2007, she ventured as a Children Book illustrator 'The Dream Jar'.
