She was trained as an oil painter at the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing before moving to London where she earned two MAs, the first in Fine Arts from Byam Shaw School of Art, and the second from the Royal College of Art in Photography.〔CRG Gallery Artist Biography (http://www.crggallery.com/artists/o-zhang/bio/)〕 In 2004 Zhang moved to New York City where she has since lived and worked, making yearly returns to her native China.〔Discussed in speech given by Zhang for WPS1, the radio station run by the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, hear the actual speech, (http://www.wps1.org/new_site/content/view/2213/), or read a transcribed version, (http://www.crggallery.com/artists/o-zhang/bio/)〕 O Zhang is represented by CRG Gallery, NY, which will present her first American solo exhibition, ''The World Is Yours (But Also Ours)'', in December, 2008.〔Information reported on Zhang’s artist website (http://web.mac.com/zhang_o/iWeb/Site/O%20Zhang%20artist%20Bio.html)〕 Zhang is also represented by Pékin Fine Arts in Beijing and by FA Projects in London.
==Childhood==
Zhang was born in the city of Guangzhou to English-translator parents who were forced, by the Chinese Cultural Revolution government, to move to the edge of Jishou, a village in the Hunan Province, soon after Zhang’s birth.〔Interview held with Zhang by Art Education UK (http://www.art-education-uk.org/index.php?pr=O_Zhang)〕 In the countryside Zhang was exposed to and learned the language of ethnic minority groups like the Miao and the Tujia, and demonstrated her ability to adapt to situations where she was an “outsider.”〔Information documented in an essay from the ''Who am I'' catalog, an exhibition held by Chinese-American Arts Council, curated by Patricia Eichenbaum Karetzky that featured work by Zhang. Citation for the essay:

New York: Chinese-American Arts Council, Inc., 2004. 18-19-20.〕 Zhang remembers her childhood as “very peaceful and colorful,” and notes that this is where she established the foundation for her aesthetic preferences.〔WPS1, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center speech: hear the actual speech, (http://www.wps1.org/new_site/content/view/2213/), or read a transcribed version, (http://www.crggallery.com/artists/o-zhang/bio/)〕
