Yeachin Tsai (aka Tsai Yea-Chin 蔡雅琴) received her BFA from National Taiwan Normal University and her MFA from Brooklyn College, City University of New York. She is known for her rhythmic forms and decisive brushstrokes, which reflect a certainty rooted in Chinese calligraphy and the expansive sense of time and space found in traditional Chinese painting and philosophy.
She paints with layered ink, acrylic, and oil on paper, canvas, wood, and fabric. Yeachin generates tension through the intimate scale of her smaller paintings and their colossal internal energy. Her large-scale works employ sweeping brushwork to draw viewers in, then erupt joyously with energetic color and invigorating mark-making. Her subjects span both the visible—objects, patterns, and symbols—and the unseen—force, emotion, and momentum.
Now based in upstate New York, Yeachin has exhibited her work at notable venues including the Painting Center in Manhattan, the New York State Museum in Albany, and the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, NY. Her original artworks and designs are held in private and corporate collections worldwide, including the United States, Canada, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Her artworks Golden Wave and Majestic Ocean Waves were selected by John Murray Publications, London, UK, as the cover and endpaper art for Sir David Attenborough’s landmark book Ocean (2025).
Corporate collections include Bellagio, Las Vegas; The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago and Washington, D.C.; Google NYC Public Spaces; The Peninsula, New York City; Azabu Miami Beach; Nobu Miami Beach; Hilton West Palm Beach; Hilton Boca Raton; Hyatt Regency Orlando, FL; Brava Luxury High-Rise Apartments, Houston, TX; Caesars Republic, Scottsdale, AZ; Caesars Lake Tahoe, NV; The Dutch, Nashville, TN; Sacramento Marriott Rancho Cordova, CA; Harrah’s Rincon, CA; Rosewood Hotel, Hong Kong; Andaz Shenzhen Hotel, China; and Toranomon Hills Residential Towers, Tokyo, Japan, among other renowned venues.
