Zhi Ming Wu - Ducks by the Lake - Oak Center Towers
Zhi Ming Wu was born in 1937 in the Wu region of Central China, on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Because his family was poor, he raised birds as a child to earn money to go to school. Today, he smiles widely, saying he never imagined that one day he would live in the U.S. or have the experience of being picked up in a limousine at the airport when he visits his two daughters in Shanghai.
Prior to his AWE class, he had no formal experience in art, though he’s always liked to paint flowers. As a teenager he taught himself how to draw faces, copying photos to make portraits.
Mr. Wu retired from his work in hydraulic engineering and came to the U.S. fifteen years ago to attend his son’s graduation from college and help raise his grandchild. He now has six grandchildren.
