For more than 30 years Jackson Chien worked as an artist & art educator in Taiwan before immigrating to Canada in the mid 2000s. His work is celebrated in Asia but like many immigrant elders, he had to give up his success when he moved to Canada. Join us as Chien shares his craft, life experiences, and travels. His talk also integrates traditional Chinese heritage and martial art concepts with art education.
Chien’s work encompasses a wide range of media, including oil painting, watercolor, pastel, ceramics, traditional printmaking, and mixed media. They reflect his deep exploration of Eastern philosophy and right-brain/spatial thinking, which he integrates into his interdisciplinary practice.
Drinks and snacks provided.
Free. Registration Required.
Our Intergenerational Sharing Project is made possible by the New Horizons for Seniors Program which grants funding for projects that make a different in the lives of seniors and their communities. Jackson Chien is currently working on an ongoing intergenerational art project and we are excited to be working with him to pass along his heritage art techniques and stories to a new generation.
