The upcoming exhibition at Blakely Hall, titled “Feathered Elegance, Asian American Bird Art,” will feature the stunning works of local artist Anita Yan Wong. Set to open this October, the show highlights Wong's signature style, which blends contemporary techniques with traditional Asian art forms. With a focus on avian subjects, her paintings capture the vibrancy and grace of birds, drawing on her rich cultural heritage for inspiration. Wong's expressive brush strokes and detailed compositions invite viewers into a world that celebrates nature and the beauty of flight. This exhibition serves not only as a showcase of artistic talent but also as a platform for cultural dialogue within the Issaquah Highlands community.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the artist and gain insights into her creative process and the themes behind her work. The event is a significant addition to the local arts scene, emphasizing the importance of representation and diversity in art. Wong's work exemplifies how personal heritage can shape artistic expression and foster community connections.
