Clarissa Zheng was trained classically as a painter since she was a young child. She graduated as a Bachelor of Oil Painting from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts (China) with full scholarship. She later came to Melbourne and did her Master Degree of Contemporary Art in the Victorian College of Arts (the University of Melbourne). Her paintings have been exhibited in many solo and group shows, and some of them were collected by different galleries in China and Melbourne. Clarissa has been teaching painting and drawing in China and Melbourne for almost 10 years, and is therefore exceptionally knowledgable and experienced in art teaching. With her experience in art and art teaching, she develops her own philosophy that integrates western and eastern teaching approaches. Such philosophy and approach have been approved to be effective throughout her career as an art teacher. She is hoping to share her art knowledge and skills with more young people and to bring more creativity and love to our community.
