Flo Oy Wong
Flo Oy Wong (, born October 28, 1938) is a Chinese-American artist. Born in Oakland, California, Wong was granted a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of California, Berkeley in 1960, qualifying as a teacher as California State University, Hayward a year later. Her intent was initially to teach high school students, but she found that it was more enjoyable to teach small children, and focused on a career doing that; this ended when she had her own children and left the teaching profession.
Wong began studying art in 1978, attending DeAnza College until 1980 followed by a stint at Foothill College until 1982. In 1990 she curated the exhibition ''Families: Rebuilding, Recreating, Reinventing'' at the Euphrat Museum of Art, which two years later awarded her the Art and the Needs of Children and Youth Award. In 1995, Wong was awarded the President's Award by the Women’s Caucus for Art, and served as a visiting scholar at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. In 1997 she was awarded fellowships by both the Arts Council of Santa Clara and the Nebraska Arts Council.〔
In 2000 her piece ''made in usa: Angel Island Shhh'' was installed at the United States Immigration Station, Angel Island, where between 100,000 and 175,000 Chinese immigrants had been detained, influenced by the experiences of her mother and mother-in-law who had immigrated from China. In 2013 she hosted an exhibition at the Luggage Store Gallery celebrating her 75th birthday, which featured works by Moira Roth and Wong's sister, Nellie Wong.
