"This encyclopedia quenches a long-awaited thirst for comprehensive knowledge of contemporary Asian American Artists that are changing the landscape of American culture. Hallmark provides a discussion of the work, professional record of the artists, and their remarkable personal stories." -- Kim Anno, Professor of Art, California College of Arts and Crafts

She has a BFA in art history, MA in art education, graduate certificate in gender studies, and is in the completion phase of her doctorate in art education and women's studies at Florida State University. Upcoming publications include U.S. Photographers of the Twentieth Century, a Greenwood Press title, co-authored with Kristin G. Congdon.

Hallmark selected the 75 artists featured here for their cultural
connections to the US and one or more East Asian countries. The
brief alphabetically-arranged entries offer career biographies,
bibliographies and places to see each artist's work; and basic
information including birth and death dates, country of ancestry or
origin, and his or her predominant media. Some B&W and color
prints support the text.
