Tina Wang is a 22-year-old artist from Taiwan. As a senior at Columbia University who majors in Architecture, she finds creative inspiration from everywhere in New York City on the steps of the Low Library, on the orange seat in the 1 train, or on the lush lawn in Bryant Park. With her skills in design software, Tina is always experimenting with different techniques and compositions. She endeavors to utilize her artistic ability in illustration, graphic design, architecture, and more to change the way people think, feel and act. She captures the essence of daily life and turns it into something unique. That’s what Tina does.
