Baker Artist Portfolios

Born in Wuhan China, Xiaofu Wang received her BFA in photography from China Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing (2013) and earned her MFA at Maryland Institute College of Art in the LeRoy E Hoffberger School of Painting (2017). Xiaofu was recently a semifinalist for the 2017 Janet and Walter Sondheim Prize, and has shown her work in New York, Baltimore, and Beijing. Upon arriving in Maryland, she realized she had gained the perspective of a bird, now clearly able to see where she had been perched in the heart of Beijing’s art scene. She married this cultural awareness to an investigation of western philosophy, sewing a fertile ground for new associations and insight.
