Biography
Erh-Ping Tsai is a life-long jewelry and ceramic artist dedicated to communicating and expressing his love of nature through art. His creative practices cross the boundaries between ceramics, metalworking, painting, sculpture, and horticulture. In 1993, Erh-Ping Tsai was named American Outstanding Craft Artist. He also founded Jewelry10, where he leverages his artistic and technical skills to create nature-inspired masterpieces.
Erh-Ping Tsai studied at the National Academy of Arts in Taiwan before emigrating to the U.S. to study at the Parsons School of Design. His home with his wife and Jewelry10 co-founder, Cynthia Chuang, in Long Island represents the significance of their everyday life and is fundamental to their artistic creation: an elaborate, curated and constantly evolving expression of appreciation and love for nature.
