Artist Edie Tang was born and raised in China. She began painting in 2019. She is totally self-taught, her first experiences as an artist was when she painted a cartoon portrait on a pair of shoes. She discovered she really enjoyed it and had a natural talent. She soon started painting human and animal portraits and landscapes.
She believes that being an artist is something that one is born to do and not learned at school. She went on to study through practical experience, learning through trial and error and self-learning studying the works of YouTube artists as her teachers.
Continuing with family encouragement and support, especially from her father who is a calligraphy artist, she became a full-time artist, part-time model and actress while taking care of the kids.
She is the owner of Pimpmybling art studio which has painting parties every week. Edie brings a warm, supportive, and positive environment to people who loves art combining art and fun in a creative/carefree way to improve art skills and meet like minded people.
Edie’s work is displayed both in the main reading room and the display case in reference area.

Artist Statement
I discovered beautiful things in my life! Happiness, Joy, chills, laughs, and all sorts of emotions! I enjoy what art has brought to me. Colorful on canvas or on unique objects, that’s the way I make my brush dance and my color sing.
Capturing the light is everything! It’s elusive quality can transform a figure or a landscape in just a matter of seconds. I strive to convey that sense of place by capturing its fleeting magic. It’s always the light that I need to put on a face to make a natural expression or to make the flowers brighten.
My goad is to inspire those who see my work to look more carefully at the world around them and to discover beauty in the unusual places.
