Yi’s paintings infuse color and movement. While her dynamic landscape paintings draw inspiration from Chinese brush paintings, her figurative works are charged with emotion and energy. Yi was born in Shanghai where she began dance and piano training at the age of four. Since the age of twelve, she has lived in Colorado, Italy, Baltimore, and New York. Yi received her BA from the Johns Hopkins University, and MAs from Columbia University. A former Investment Banker and teacher, Yi is happy to have found her passion in painting and sculpture as she raises her two young children in Deephaven, Minnesota.
