Lucy Liu | Painter

Throughout her childhood, Lucy Liu was already introduced to various forms of art, including martial arts and acting. Before graduating from the University of Michigan with a bachelor’s degree in Asian languages and cultures, Liu landed a couple of on-stage gigs for productions, such as Alice in Wonderland. Nowadays, though, it’s safe to say many of us recognize her for her works in the film industry, including Shanghai Noon, Kill Bill: Volume 1, and the Charlie’s Angels movies.

Besides her career in the entertainment industry as an actress and director, Liu is also quite fond of the visual arts, including painting and photography. Originally going by the name Yu Ling, her Chinese name, the Charlie’s Angels star has showcased her works in several galleries through the years. Recently, in 2019, though, she finally had the chance to display her passions on a national exhibit titled Unhomed Belongings, held at the National Museum of Singapore.
