Mimi Zhang-Mackie is a Watercolourist in the Peace Country area. She moved to Canada in 1999, where she met her husband and together they settled in the Peace Country and began raising their family.

Mimi graduated from Jinan Technical Art School in China where she learned Chinese artwork, Calligraphy, watercolour and drawing with graphite.

Mimi’s favourite medium is Watercolour. She uses the unpredictability of the medium to her advantage to create artworks that flow and have a magical quality. She says when paint touches water it comes to life right off the paper, flows with energy. Watercolour is unpredictable but it’s so much fun and the excitements are priceless!

Mimi draws graphite realism. She is a gifted art instructor and taught many Peace Country Students. She loves sharing Watercolour with others through her teaching, so that more people will enjoy this fascinating medium, inspiring, creating and have fun!

Mimi is an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists–Peace River Chapter. The Peace Watercolour Society and the Beaverlodge Art Club.
