Hi! I'm Cathy Shen. Welcome to my personal website!
You can read about my research into artwork and art museum visit reports on the 'Art Blog' page, view the details of my solo art exhibitions and workshops in the 'Solo Exhibition and Workshop' section, explore my artwork of Chinese traditional painting and related expertise in the 'Online Gallery' category, and browse the art activities (such as surveys, salons, exhibitions, lectures, club fairs, etc.) that I designed, organized, coordinated, and hosted on the 'Art Initiative and Curating' page.
I chose the name 'Art & Beyond' for this website because I want to dedicate it to creating a dynamic space where artistic discourse flourishes across borders, creative works find their place in the spotlight, and art appreciation blossoms.
By embracing and championing diverse artistic expressions—spanning traditional and contemporary painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, and cultural heritage—Art & Beyond unlocks the "palace of aesthetics" for all who seek entry. With art as our medium, aesthetics as our foundation, and academic learning as our reach, I champion a powerful truth: creativity transcends all borders, while beauty speaks in countless dialects. The capacity to perceive and interpret our world through an aesthetic lens isn't merely a skill—it's a fundamental human birthright. This instinct resonates within us all, waiting to be awakened and celebrated.
