Sandy Ng received her Ph.D. from the School of Oriental and African Studies (University of London), specialising in modern Chinese art. She is currently working on projects that explore issues of gender, identity and modernism in twentieth century Chinese paintings and design. Her latest work examines the early paintings of Lin Fengmian (1900-1991).

Art History and Theory, Visual Culture

Sandy began her teaching career, sponsored by the Asian Pacific Scholarship at the University of Hawaii in Mānoa in the United States. Her passion for the display and reception of art led her to curate a two-part exhibition titled “The Three Perfections” that examined the significance of Chinese calligraphy at the Honolulu Museum of Arts. Inspired by the multicultural society in Hawaii, she is concerned with the process and effect of cross-cultural exchange on artistic expression. While pursuing her studies in Great Britain, she taught Cultural Studies subjects at the University of Sussex. Before joining the School of Design, she taught in the Fine Arts department at the University of Hong Kong, offering thematic courses that scrutinized cultural manifestations in contemporary societies.
