About Yan Cao

Yan Cao (pronounced “Chao”) grew up in an artistic family in China. A lifelong art lover, she started pursuing painting after retirement. She studied art history in NYU and painting in Cooper Union School of Art. She was a docent at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A New York city transplant, she now lives in a beautiful victorian town on the seashore of New Jersey, which inspires most of her work of seascapes and sailboats. Her work is also heavily influenced by Chinese landscape paintings.
