My name is Jade Wong and I am an undisciplinary artist whose work often examines themes of diasporic identity and battling environmental injustice through painting, text, digital media, and installation. I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona to two immigrants from Southern China. Though I did not grow up with many resources or guidance, I somehow found myself at a liberal arts college more than 5,000 miles away in suburban Massachusetts, where I graduated this past May with a degree in both Studio Art and Environmental Science & Policy. As of now, I reside in my hometown, Phoenix, and hope to engage in creative work that helps my city through justice and community-focused goals.
When I'm not creating art, I am reading, performing poetry, playing guitar, learning recipes, and traveling.
