Chinese artist Howard Huang came to the United States nearly two and a half years ago to pursue his dream of becoming an international artist.

Huang believes coming to America was very important in reaching his goal of becoming an international artist.

He says that living here and learning different types of art will culture him and ultimately better prepare him for international stardom.

According to one of Huang’s favorite teacher, Hagop Najarian, Huang’s ability and eagerness to learn is what makes him a great student.

“He’s a completely sincere over-achiever. The good thing about him is that he’s technically a very skilled person. What makes him a great artist is that he’s always trying to better himself. He’s very hungry and eager to learn.”

He is currently preparing an art show along with artists from eight different countries.

He says the show plans to travel the world.

Not only is he preparing art shows, but his paintings have gained interest with art lovers and art collectors as well.

After recently visiting an art gallery in Huntington Beach, he met an artist who was interested in putting two of his paintings up for auction in China.

The 37-year-old graphic designer has been studying and making art since he was seven-years-old.

Although his father, an aircraft engineer, was not a big fan of art, Huang says he has always wanted to be an artist.

As a child, Huang’s mother loved art.

When Huang first expressed interest in becoming an artist, his mother put him in a Chinese art school for children.

Huang says that although he was bored with learning the basics such as shapes and colors, he can see how it helped him become the artist he is today.

Huang says that due to budget cuts, it may take him up to another two years to graduate.
