This will be the Canadian Premiere of
Dr. Yang’s paintings and feature film Feuille (Leaf).
Don’t miss the opportunity to meet Dr. Yang in person
at the opening reception
on Sunday, April 1st from 2:00pm to 4:30pm.
Dr. Youxin Yang was born in Xuzhou, China. After finishing her medical education in Nanjing, she received her Ph.D. with high honors from Paris University VI (Marie-Curie University). In 2001, she went to Harvard Medical School to continue her work in cancer research. Dr. Yang is a multi-talented artist and filmmaker who was the first female director to win the top Remi Award at the 37th Houston International Film Festival. Her passion for art is shown through all her works by uniting eastern and western cultures. Dr Yang’s career path shows that there does not need to be a separation between science and art. Her accomplishments in scientific research and artistic expression prove that being an expert in one field does not necessarily mean that you can not be an expert in another field.
Dr. Yang’s 2012 exhibit PEACE is a perfect example of cultural unity, and our Garden is delighted to provide a space that connects cultures and communities. A screening of Dr. Yang’s first feature film Feuille (Leaf) will be held at the opening reception. She is the screenwriter, director, and leading actress of this film. Leaf has won twenty-four awards such as Best Drama at the New York International Independent Film & Video Festival in Los Angeles, 2004.
