我觉得我的艺术就像一本打开的日记。它记录着我的生活，以及我周围的生活。我喜欢用绘画来向世界解释我自己。

他们说的事情我不知道怎么用语言来表达。绘画是一个过程，它将我、我的观众和观众联系在一起。它是连接过去和现在的桥梁。

我想画人，因为人让我好奇，尤其是在沉默的交流过程中。我希望观众能在绘画的瞬间感受到我的感受。看看是什么启发了我！

她在国内并无专业美术训练，学的是牙科专业，在上学期间自学了国画和书法。1994年来到美国，在杨百翰大学学习，并于1998年以美术和插图学士学位毕业。玛丽一直从事视频游戏行业，直到2008年开始全职绘画。

她曾在Palette＆Chisel美术学院学习，现在担任董事会成员。她的画获得了无数奖项，其中包括 2010年美国油画家金奖。

玛丽·钱是美国唯一获得同欧洲印象派大师共同展出作品特权的艺术家。她一直将肖像画当做自己发展的主业，她的大多数作品却陈列在美国人的家中和美国博物馆里。

她很欣赏中国古代画家，但她真正喜欢的是西方艺术家。伦勃朗的现实主义风格，委拉斯开兹，列宾——她特别喜欢的风格。她发现这是她一直在寻找的艺术风格。

她的艺术风格深受他们的影响。她还将自己的成功部分归功于她在伊利诺斯州芝加哥的Palette & Chisel美术学院遇到的艺术家。

Mary Qian is a Chinese-born artist who has been painting impressionistic oil portraits for more than a decade. Originally hailing from Shanghai, she earned her B.F.A. in Fine Arts and Illustration from Brigham Young University in 1998.

Both of her parents are scientists, and Qian’s early studies in China focused on the sciences. Yet, from her earliest years, Qian had also felt a passion for traditional Chinese calligraphy: “It’s considered an art form, and throughout school I always did it in my spare time, along with Chinese-style watercolor painting.”

After graduation from high school, it looked like Qian would continue to concentrate on science in college. “I wanted to go on to study art, but in that education system, I really didn’t have a choice,” Qian says.

Fortunately, Qian’s parents listened to her wishes, and her mother remembered a good friend in the U.S. who worked at Brigham Young University. Qian applied and was granted permission to come to Provo, Utah, to study art for six months. She ended up staying for five years, earning degrees in both representational painting and computer animation.

After college, Qian’s skills in digital art landed her a job working for a division of Warner Bros. specializing in video games. She gained expertise in creating backgrounds and characters alike, and the job moved her to Chicago in 2002.

But all along, a greater creative passion kept her enthralled during her evenings and weekends: painting. She began working and studying at Chicago’s renowned Palette & Chisel Academy of Fine Arts,winning second place in their 2004 Gold Medal Show and first place a year later; she now serves on the club’s board of directors. Qian gradually evolved her own distinctive style of figurative work

a dynamic combination of realism and impressionism that is informed by her exposure to European figurative artists, while also enhanced by subtleties of execution and expression that clearly derive from the graceful traditions of Chinese watercolor and calligraphy.

With continued success in exhibitions, including a Best of Show award at the prestigious Salon International juried exhibition in 2007, Qian was inspired to leave the world of computer animation and become a full-time painter in 2008. Today, she works both in a studio near the Palette & Chisel and at her own home studio.

Qian’s love of painting shines through in her figurative canvases, which present seemingly unposed subjects that somehow feel vibrantly alive. “For me, it’s about capturing the human spirit, not just addressing the technical side of painting... My best paintings happen when the model is taking a break or even taking a nap.”
