Yi-Ting Hsu is an immigrant from Taiwan who believes that the arts can bring comfort, wonder, and happiness to the world. As a young girl, she fell in love with the clarinet and began classical musical training. After graduating from Taipei National University of the Arts, she moved to the USA and earned advanced performance degrees from Temple University and Duquesne University. Along the way, she discovered a new talent, teaching herself how to paint.

As a self-taught artist, Yi-Ting weaves music, nature, and art into everything she creates. Influenced by traditional Asian brush art and Taoist philosophy, her artwork embodies balance, harmony, and serenity. She loves painting peaceful, whimsical scenes of animals and the great outdoors to bring a deep sense of delight to her viewers. Now living in beautiful Colorado, Yi-Ting enjoys spending her days creating art in her studio, playing music, and nurturing her vibrant flower garden.
