Crescent Cheng (b. Honolulu, 1993) is a painter living in Los Angeles. She is focused on developing a personal way of observing and interpreting emotional resonance in the surrounding environment, especially scenes encountered on her neighborhood walks in Highland Park, CA and Manoa, HI.  Painting is her process for introspection, memory logging and personal storytelling, using elements in the landscape as metaphors for life’s ups and downs. She also seeks to cultivate sensitivity, curiosity & greater awareness of the environment and our relationship to it, using her paintings as a jumping off point for considering the broader social and historical contexts of the painted locations.
