| A graduate of the prestigious Shanghai Art College, her career in the arts was interrupted by China's Cultural |
Revolution. But even in those turbulent times, her talent was recognized. She found herself being asked to paint larger-
than-life murals of Chairman Mao and related revolutionary themes. During the seventies in China, subject to the
restraints placed on women and artists in a period of national disorder and intolerance, she was still able to express herself
artistically in a variety of ways including stage-painting for an army ballet performing group and later created large murals
for advertising purposes. Reflecting her talent, in 1972 she was chosen to exhibit a collection of her hand-painted
woodcarvings in the Beijing Army Museum. With China's opening after the Cultural Revolution, Susan came to the United
States in 1981. |
