After graduating college, she moved to the United States to earn her Master\u2019s and Ph. D. degrees in Physical Chemistry. Agnes selflessly devoted much of her professional career to medical research, playing a pivotal role in establishing a Bone Marrow Registry in Taiwan, which has helped save hundreds of lives. Agnes fell in love with the arts at a young age, and has actively pursued her own artistic expression since leaving the medical field.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/oralhist\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_8813.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-707\" src=\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/oralhist\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_8813.jpg\" alt=\"img_8813\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/oralhist\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_8813.jpg 3000w, http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/oralhist\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_8813-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/oralhist\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_8813-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>One Thousand Words<\/em> is a dynamic and exhilarating collection of Agnes\u2019 paintings. Through meticulous repetition, she creates visual abstractions of Chinese poems which act as expressions of her own feelings and memories and elicit a profoundly personal and emotive reaction from the viewer. As with traditional Chinese paintings, a deeper meaning is hidden in each of Agnes\u2019 works that is waiting to be discovered by those who look for it.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/oralhist\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_8803.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-708\" src=\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/oralhist\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_8803.jpg\" alt=\"img_8803\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/oralhist\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_8803.jpg 3000w, http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/oralhist\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_8803-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/oralhist\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_8803-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Shiang Yu Lee (\u674e\u6e58\u6e1d\u5148\u751f), Agnes\u2019s husband also showed short video of the exhibition and introduced some feedback from the audience how they enjoyed the creative painting and how some painting echoed the feelings with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 15th Oral History Community Forum was wonderfully held last Sunday, October 16th, 2016.
