Award-winning watercolorist, Fealing Lin of San Marino, California, was born in Taiwan and began her journey into artistic expression as a protégé of renowned professor Ching-Jung Chen in Taiwan, subsequently pursuing her career in the United States with watercolorist and senior art historian professor Verna Wells.

With a fluidity of colors, Ms. Lin combines realism, impressionistic strokes, and semi-abstract techniques to elicit life and movement in her portrait and landscape watercolors. Her paintings adorn the paper with both harmony and emotion.

Although briefly diverted from her passion by a family tradition of medicine and dentistry, Fealing ultimately abandoned her tray of instruments and high-speed drills in favor of her pallet and brushes. Now she is a teacher, demonstrator, judge, and active exhibitor.

Said Professor William Blackshaw, President of the Royal Watercolor Society of England, “Fealing Lin paints poems that vibrate with light and color… long may she continue to delight the eye and move the spirit.

Fealing is an annual guest instructor at Yosemite National Park, an instructor at Brand Art Studios at Brand Library in Glendale, and San Gabriel Recreation Center in San Gabriel. She was featured at Descanso Gardens Gallery for 10 consecutive years. She has taught watercolor workshops throughout California and the US. Fealing has been enthusiastically embraced by the general public and private collectors alike.

Fealing's works have been juried in many national exhibitions including the Western Colorado Watercolor Society; Louisville Arts Festival in Colorado; Watercolor West; Eastern Washington Watercolor Society; Audubon Artist 61st Annual Exhibition (Winning the Savoir-Faire Sennilier Fabriano Watercolor
award); Brand National (Winning National Watercolor Society Award & Watercolor West Award). Watercolor Missouri National; Transparent Watercolor Society of America. She is also a signature member of Watercolor West and Missouri Watercolor Society.

Her artworks have been published in many books and magazines nationally and internationally, including "Best Watercolor", "Artist's Sketchbook", "100 Ways to Paint People and Figures", "Watercolor Magic", "Splash 9", "Splash 10", "Splash in Action" (2009), and "International Watercolor Magazine".
