About the artist:

Pang Jen was born in Li-yang Kiang-su, China. He studied at the Soo-Chow Academy and won the Best Portrait Painter in the class. He studied the classical technique of oil painting for many years. Determined to further cultivate his skills, he later studied in the studio of Yee-Bon in Hong Kong and Jean de Botton in Paris. He set out on his own by having his first one-man show in the U.S. Cultural Center in Hong Kong sponsored by the U.S. State Department. From 1958–62, he was an active committee member of the Hong Kong Art Club, where he taught and was on the jury. Jen represented Hong Kong at the Commonwealth Art Today at the Commonwealth Institute, London, England, in 1962. In a never-ending quest for inspiration, Pang continues to paint today in Boca Raton, Florida.
