Kamena Gallery

Born in Malaysian Borneo, land of the head hunters, this vanishing tropical
island of exotic flowers and birds influenced Willie Wong to study art in
various locations throughout south East Asia under various
renowned Chinese artists.

After completing the Senior Cambridge examinations, Willie settled in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 1979. There he studied at both the
Alberta College and the University of Alberta.

Embracing Edmonton's cultural liveliness, Willie participated off and on at
The Works and The Fringe festivals, as well as having served on the
Board of Directors for The Art Park. Willie also served as art critic
and juror throughout the city for various art groups, and as a
watercolor instructor for the Edmonton Public School Board
in its Continuing Education programs. Also, he has conducted
several watercolor workshops at Edmonton's Devonian Gardens
and numerous other workshops for various art clubs throughout Alberta.
Willie Wong traveled to Yellowknife and Inuvik to conduct workshops
for the Great Northern Arts & Crafts Festival in July for several years
between 1990 and 1995 where his 'Northern Lights' art shows held
in Inuvik were some of the most popular events enjoyed among
the many European tourists.

Collected publicly as well as privately all across Canada, the United States,
Malaysia and Singapore, some collectors of Willie's work include Amoco,
the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Canada Council for the Art Bank,
Northwestern Utilities, the Royal Bank, Telus and the
University of Alberta Hospital.
