Monika
Lin was born in Manhattan, NY in 1968. She spent her early
years
in New Jersey before moving with her parents and brothers to the San
Francisco Bay Area. She began her studies in the arts as a
child
(piano, violin, dance, painting and drawing) winning numerous local and
national awards in the visual arts. During high school, she
attended classes at the Academy of Art in San Francisco and Otis
Parsons Art Institute in Los Angeles. In 1986 she accepted a
scholarship
to the College of Creative Studies at the University of California
Santa Barbara where she continued to study painting and drawing as well
as printmaking and performance art. After college in Southern
California, she moved to San Francisco where she lived and worked for
12 years as an exhibiting artist, educator, and activist before heading
to New York City and then Kansas City. In Kansas City she
taught
painting practice and theory at the Kansas City Art Institute for
several years before taking the job that would move her to China. She
now lives in Shanghai with her husband. Her work is exhibited
across the United States and Europe (in galleries, art centers and
museums), and recently at Art Beijing. She is represented by
galleries in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Kansas City.
