Born in Southern China, Mian Situ received his formal art training in his native homeland of
Guangdong, formerly Canton. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the prestigious
Guangzhou Institute of Fine Art. After instructing for six years, he earned a Masters in Fine
Art. Immigrating to Canada, then later moving to the United States, Mian’s paintings clearly
reflect his upbringing in the rural countryside of his native China. His artistic diversification of
subject matter, from the people of the small villages and farming communities going about
their daily lives to the exquisite portraitures as well as his most recent works inspired by
western historical themes and American landscapes, all reflect the sensitive dedication of this
Master Artist.
Mian has been recognized with many national art awards. During the 2002 Masters of the
American West exhibition and sale at the Autry National Center in Los Angeles California,
Mian Situ received the Masters of the American West Museum Purchase Award, the Thomas
Moran Memorial Award for Artistic Merit and the Patron’s Choice Award. In 2003, Mian was
honored with the Thomas Moran Memorial Award, Artist’s Choice Award and Patron’s Choice
Award. Most recently, in 2005, Mian was presented with the Artist’s Choice Award for his
painting, The Word of God. Mian Situ is represented by Trailside Galleries in Scottsdale,
Arizona and Jackson, Wyoming. He lives with his wife, Helen and daughter, Lisa in Southern
California.
