Many of the pieces build on her own experiences as a woman, including pregnancy and motherhood.While she was at university to earn her bachelor’s degree, she said, only one of the teachers of traditional ink painting was a woman.
Wei said she felt excited about her first solo exhibition in Utah — which is also her first time in the state.
