I am not an academically trained artist, but I have always possessed strong interests in art and a deep love of visual imagery. That is why I appreciated the chance to learn to paint from Taiwan master artists Shih-Ciao Li and Ke-Mei Li. From them I received guidance on painting skills and inspirations of art. This is the foundation of my Western and Chinese painting works. After I moved into the New Jersey, U.S.A. in 1986, I frequently visited Manhattan for exhibits in SoHo and Chelsea as well as museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the MoMA. I participated in art workshops by artists with different styles to learn more painting techniques and the application of new materials. Impacted and influenced by modern fashion, I started to learn from contemporary trends. I was at once touched by the subjective works of Impressionism, form manipulation of Cubism, endless imagination of Surrealism, bold colors of Fauvism, and the construction and beauty of the musical rhythm of Abstract Expressionism. Thus, I tried different painting styles during the period, immersed in the world of painting, and enjoying the fun of creation.

Life & Art

Synthesized from the TAH profile text above (no external sourcing). Chen Suhua (b. 1950, Taiwan) is a self-described non-academically-trained painter whose Western- and Chinese-painting foundation came from studying under the Taiwanese masters Shih-Ciao Li (李石樵) and Ke-Mei Li — no vault person pages exist for either master yet. She earned her B.S. from Aletheia University in 1973. Emigrating to New Jersey in 1986, she kept training informally: frequent SoHo and Chelsea gallery visits plus the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MoMA, and workshops with stylistically diverse artists exploring new materials. Her stated artistic diet runs from Impressionist subjectivity, Cubist form, and Surrealist imagination to Fauvist color and the “musical rhythm” of Abstract Expressionism, and she worked across these styles. She exhibits as a member/exhibiting artist of the Somerset Art Association (New Jersey) and as an exhibiting artist of the Greenwich Art Council (Connecticut).

Corpus re-check 2026-09-14 (deepen-x slice 09142101-1)

SKIP-with-reason: corpus grep for 陳素華/Suhua returns a single superficial hit — 林素華(園藝) in the 台大校友連署清單 of taiwanjustice 2018-07-21, a different person (林, not 陳); no other material. Nothing absorbable beyond TAH records 1003 already linked. Nothing invented, nothing published.
