BIO
Kacy Yu grew up in China and has been passionate about drawing and painting since childhood. The scenes in her surrealist paintings are derived from literature, movies, past experiences, and places that she has visited, dreamt of, and imagined. Kacy’s art has been featured in many exhibitions in China and U.S. After working for seven years as an art lecturer at a university in China, Kacy immigrated to the U.S. in 2019 to further her pursuit of painting. She received her Master of Fine Arts in Painting at Laguna College of Art and Design.
