Artist Ming Feng was born in Guangzhou, China. He was admitted to the Guangzhou Municipal Teenage Art School and graduated from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 1986. Ming achieved prominence as an acclaimed artist in his native China. He began his career as a stage designer with the Modern Drama Troupe of Guangzhou. Later, he worked for the Guangzhou Art Design company where he created layouts, advertisement designs, product placards, and book illustrations. In 1984, he became a member of the prestigious Chinese Artist Association, the nation’s top professional artist organization. His paintings are in the permanent collection of the Guangzhou (Canton) Fine Art Museum. His works also have been reproduced in art books, magazines, illustrated storybooks, and newspapers throughout China. In 1986 and 1989, the renowned Canton Lingnan Fine Art Publishing House wrote two special columns showcasing Ming’s Chinese paintings and acrylic paintings. In addition, a book featuring his paintings, The Most Collectible Contemporary Artist - Ming Feng, was published by Tianjin People’s Fine Art Publishing House in 2014.

In 1988, Ming immigrated to the United States and continued his professional artistic career. His work has been exhibited both across the United States and internationally. He has won numerous awards, and his paintings have been published in many fine art magazines, art book covers, and newspapers. Ming was featured in several articles including “Rising Star of the Art World” by Debbie Hagan in 1996, “The Lure of the Sea” by Debbie Hagan in 1999, and “Landscape of Romance” by Marguerite Smolen in 2000.

In 1998, Disney Corporation invited Ming to create an oil painting for their Grand Floridian Resort, and the painting remains a part of the company's collection today. Numerous Japanese organizations have produced calendars exclusively featuring Ming Feng’s paintings for the years 2003, 2004, 2007, and 2008. His paintings have been widely acclaimed for their technical virtuosity and poetic and romantic imagery. His works are also featured in worldwide private and corporate collections.
