Julia Chiang is the Artist-in-Residence at Mount Sinai Hospital. She is a graduate of New York University where she studied both Art History and Studio Art. Julia works with various materials ranging from hand embroidery to large scale installations. Along with exhibiting her work she has been on residency in China at Hap Clay Studios, Vermont Studio Center, and Henry Street Settlement. She is currently a part of Copilandia, an exhibition in Spain celebrating the free exchange of art and ideas.

"I am inspired every day that I am in the hospital with the diverse individuals that I meet and work with. Sometimes we collaborate and sometimes they know exactly what they want to do. Their extreme strength and willingness to try something new in such difficult times is always amazing to me.
I learn from each experience and take with me the ability to look at my work in new ways. Working in the hospital has allowed me to combine my interest in making art and being involved with the community. It has given me the opportunity to bring art to a broader audience and become part of people's creative process. I feel so fortunate to be part of their lives and even more fortunate to have met everyone at the Creative Center."
