January II Issue: Art Roundup

Each issue we feature art created by Asian women around the world. Here are this issue’s pieces!

“Humble Paradise” by Yiling Yi
Medium: 15 x 18" Pencil Illustration on Paper
Artist's Note: “Humble Paradise” is an illustration of my family observing baby chickens on our farm in rural China. It reflects contentment with the simplicity of life which I believe is something very relevant in the hustle of modern society. However, in the midst of pandemic life, contentment with simplicity has also become something we must remind ourselves to look for. Although hidden in plain sight all around us, sometimes it is unimaginably hard to stay conscious of it.
