Ming Ying Hong

Ming Ying Hong is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores hybridized bodies, examining the way we define, categorize and assign power to them. Recognizable forms are fragmented, defamiliarized and remixed to create an uncanny hodgepodge of forms that were previously magnetically opposed to one another. She has exhibited at Western Illinois University in Macomb; the University of Alabama Huntsville; Florida’s Broward College South Campus in Pembroke; the University of South Carolina in Columbia, Doane University in Crete, NE; popblossom in Norfolk, VA; and the Green Building Gallery in Louisville, KY. Her work has been published in numerous publications, including New American Paintings, Manifest’s International Drawing Annual and ArtMaze Mag. Hong is dedicated to ensuring that her students are technically well versed, conceptually adept and civic-minded. She received her BFA from the University of Kentucky and was a Danforth Scholar at Washington University in St. Louis, where she received her MFA in visual art. She is represented by B. Deemer Gallery-Wheelhouse Art in Louisville, KY.
