About the Artist

Qian Gao has been painting watercolors since 1998. He is a signature member of the American Watercolor Society (AWS), National Watercolor Society (NWS), Transparent Watercolor Society of America (TWSA) and California Watercolor Association (CWA).

Qian is a self-taught artist whose influences include John Singer Sargent, Edward Seago, John Yardley and Trevor Chamberlain. He developed his style of "controlled, loose painting" through years of experimentation, producing works that are fresh and loose but still hold every component together as a whole. His works have won awards at numerous national and international exhibitions.
