Chang (1957-) was born in Monterey, California and graduated the Art Center
College of Design with honors in 1981. He worked as an illustrator for 20
years in Los Angeles and New York and has had close to 200 of his paintings
published as book covers. His work has won awards from the Society of Illustrators
in New York and Communication Arts Magazine.
Since 2001, he has devoted himself to the fine arts and currently teaches
drawing and painting at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. He was recently
profiled on the cover of the American Artist Magazine and featured in American
Art Collector, Artworks and Southwest Art magazines. Among his awards are
“Best of Show” at the Salon International 2003 held in Texas
where noted artist and teacher, David Leffel was the juror of awards. He
is the author of 7 articles on instructional painting published by International
Artist Magazine starting Jan/Dec 2008. He is a artist member of the California
Art Club and has exhibited every year since 2002 in their annual Gold Medal
exhibition and a Signature member of the Oil Painters of America.
Primarily a figurative artist, Chang paints the human figure in contemporary
environments, including the interiors of his studio and classroom, as well
as outdoor subjects such as the fieldworkers of Monterey County where he
grew up.
