About the Artists:

Born in Yangon in 1961, Ye Min’s grandfather U Chan Thar (Maharathaysithu ICS) painted as a hobby and apprenticed under Sayargyi U Ngwe Gaing. Ye Min attended the State School of Fine Arts Yangon from 1978 to 1980. He later earned a Law degree and married Ma Khin Oo Maw. He left Myanmar and migrated to the US in 1994 where he now resides in New York City with his family. He has worked as a screen print artist and is employed as a graphic artist in a women’s fashion apparel manufacturing company. He has since retired due to a serious illness and now is back to his lifelong love of painting and creating artworks. He now donates part of the proceeds from the sale of his artworks to orphanages through “Art for Orphans.”
