Title: "Rocking Chair"
Medium and Size: 4.5x5.96" on 8.5x11" Hahnemuehle paper, inkjet print, open edition, signed on front

Rona Chang was born in Chungli, Taiwan, a town that is famous for its spicy beef noodle soup. As a child she picked mulberry leaves for her pet silkworms while playing in the black sand pile at the construction site that was at the entrance to her cul-de-sac. At the age of seven, Rona emigrated with her mother and sister from Taiwan to Buffalo, NY, later moving to Queens, New York. In Queens her family moved almost every year. Rona spent many summers living with her father in Taiwan, taking Chinese calligraphy and painting lessons. Rona still lives in Queens, and travels often, attributing her desire to travel to her many childhood moves and her love for packing.

Rona was an associate artist at the Atlantic Center of the Arts residency under the guidance of Thomas Struth. Her work has been showcased online and has exhibited internationally. Rona was chosen by Jen Bekman for the Center of Photography at Woodstock's Photography Now 2008. She received her BFA from The Cooper Union School of Art and was a photographer for the Asian Art Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for nine years. She has photographed all of the Japanese woodblock prints, Indian paintings, and Chinese handscrolls in the collection. Rona is member of Nymphoto, a collective of women in photography that is invested in its community of artists through its various projects.
