Stella Zheng | Illustrating Dr. Wally’s World

Based in Vancouver, Stella Zheng is an artist and illustrator who utilizes a mix of traditional Chinese art-making tools and digital mediums to create illustrations that explore the intricacies of the Chinese diaspora and her identity. She strives to use illustration to present honest, multifaceted, and nuanced representations of Chinese culture that are often ignored. Her previous works include art installations and the catalogue for A Seat At the Table: Chinese Immigration and British Columbia exhibition that was featured in the Chinese Canadian Museum.

On this episode, learn about Stella’s Wally’s World, a new illustration on display at the Chinese Canadian Museum in the Reshaping Collections: Where History Meets Art exhibition.

The School Room: Reshaping Collections Artist Series is made possible with support from the City of Vancouver and the Province of British Columbia.
