Sha Huang

Sha Huang is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist and scholar whose work explored the intersection of language, memory, and natural forms. An Associate Professor with a Ph.D. in Foreign Language Education, Sha’s academic background in Translation Studies and Asian Civilization deeply informs her artistic practice. She views the act of painting as a form of visual translation—bridging intellectual inquiry with sensory experience.

Working primarily in watercolor and pastel, Sha draws inspiration from the "hidden flows" of the natural world, from high-altitude Tibetan landscapes to the atmospheric shifts of urban storms. Her practice emphasizes process and restraint, allowing control and chance to coexist in a way that reflects her close cultural ties between Asia and the United States. Rather than presenting fixed narratives, she creates contemplative spaces that invite viewers into a state of stillness and personal reflection.
