Biography
Wei Cheng was born in China. Before she immigrated to Vancouver, she attained her business degree.
Wei turned to ceramics, worked as a studio member at the Shadbolt Centre and joined the Burnaby Potters Guild . She later attended and received her BFA from ECUAD.
She has been a resident artist in Jingdezhen, at Alfred University and at the Yixing Pottery Center. Her professional practice has taken her to the United States and Europe, and her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in both national and international venues, and locally at the Lipont Centre, Canton-sardine Gallery and the Chinese Cultural Centre.
Wei is concerned with the intricate, the found, and ephemeral experience and often makes constructs of found objects with fired clay. She also participates in performance and installation work.
