“Loretta Hui-shan Yang's work proves that with a will there is a way. Within a thousand-year old Chinese culture, she discovered a unique means to speak to our souls and evoke a world of imagination.” —— Antoine Leperlier
Loretta Hui-shan Yang began her pursuit of contemporary Liuli art in 1987 and in the process revived China's art of “pate-de-verre”—— a technique that once flourished in 4 B.C. China. Over twenty years, Loretta Hui-shan Yang has used her individual artistic gifts and her acute powers of observation to create sculptured works in Liuli which are richly imbued with a traditional Chinese artistic vocabulary and human philosophy.
