ANGELA HAN is a Chinese-American multidisciplinary creator (artist, musician, educator, researcher, storyteller, and curator) who builds speculative worlds through art, music, and storytelling. She weaves together research on various disciplines, including folklore, herstory, and musicology, with reflections of her own lived experiences to create narratives that embody her hopes for the future. These stories are brought to life through intricate, multilayered paintings featuring rich, lyrical compositions. Her artwork has been exhibited at Arc Studios & Gallery, International Hotel Manilatown Center, Sanchez Art Center, SOMArts, and Voss Gallery.
Han is the recipient of the San Francisco Arts Commission Artists Grant (2021) and Arts Impact Endowment Grant (2025) as well as California Arts Council Individual Artists Fellowship (2023). Her notable projects amplify the lives and work of women in the arts, such as “50 Mythical Worlds Inspired by 50 Women Composers” (2020), “Realms of Courage: Celebrating Asian Women Composers” (2021 - present), “With a Twist: Stories of Her Own” (2024), “Journey of 1000 Miles” (2025). She currently serves as President of the Board of Directors at the Asian American Women Artists Association (AAWAA).
