Brooke Chang Art

My work explores how nature impacts our emotional state, creating healing and inner peace. My glass art concentrates on florals and objects found in nature, while my watercolor centers around landscapes and florals. Art has the ability to arouse strong emotions, but also has the ability to create calm and grounding.

When working in glass and watercolor, both require a meditative quality and process in their creation.  This is particularly true in glassblowing when being perfectly present in the moment is essential to accomplish the final artwork.

Glassblowing has always been experienced as male dominated, but women are entering this field to express a more feminine perspective. I use glass media to express the feminine strengths and traits through subject matter and color. 

Watercolor has similar luminosity and transparency as glass allowing a more delicate and subtle expression of the subject matter.  Like glass, the feminine strengths and traits also can be expressed through watercolor to the viewer. Watercolorists, such as Georgia O’Keefe, John Singer Sargent, and JMW Turner, have influenced my watercolor work.

My work is a conversation with the viewer translating my meditative experience through the feminine lens. It conveys the message of healing and inner peace to achieve calm and grounding for the viewer.

My art journey has allowed me to exhibit my artwork at the Maude Kerns Art Center, Emerald Art Center, Florence Regional Arts Alliance, the William King Museum, 29 Palms Art Gallery, Desert Art Center in Palm Springs, Soaring: Nine Women show at the Tipton Gallery, and the 2024 Desert Open Studios tour

I enjoy the outdoors, including hiking, cycling, camping, kayaking, sailing, cross-country skiing, and traveling. I reside with her sculptor and painter husband in Oregon.
