About
Mia Savage, a Hong Kong-born artist, seamlessly blends different cultural influences in her artwork. Raised between Hong Kong and New York City, Mia's early exposure to contemporary Southeast Asian art and traditional ink painting in Hong Kong shaped her artistic foundation. In New York, she deepened her knowledge of the arts in general, taking courses in poetry at Columbia University and informally studying the history of art in the city’s renowned museums.
Mia's affinity for poetry translates seamlessly into her visual artistry, evidenced by her commission for the book cover "Thanks for Nothing" by poet D. Jannerson, published by Finishing Line Press. While oil painting is her preferred medium, she adeptly employs digital tools such as Adobe Creative Suite (industry standard in the USA) and Clip Studio Paint (industry standard in Japan).
Her solo exhibition in March 2024 garnered acclaim, drawing attention from local academics, the deputy mayor, and prominent business figures, with coverage in local press publications. Mia's collaborative spirit is also showcased through co-founding an art collective, organizing ten group exhibitions to date across commercial galleries in Escondido, California, and Los Angeles.
Armed with a Bachelor's degree in Studio Art with a minor in Art History from Mount Holyoke College, Mia is dedicated to continually refining her craft and expanding her artistic horizons through ongoing education and exploration. Mia's multicultural background enriches her artistic narrative, adding depth and intrigue to her body of work.
