Calligraphy

Born in Shanghai in 1942, Tong Yangtze began practicing calligraphy at the early age of eight, when she was taught by her father. She received her BFA from the National Taiwan Normal University and, later, her MFA of oil painting and ceramics from the University of Massachusetts. As a renowned calligrapher, Tong is known for innovating her bold and expressive cursive style that bridges towards abstraction while still remaining decipherable to the poetic content.
