Jane Chang Mi ’00

Trained as an ocean engineer and an artist, Jane Chang Mi considers land politics and postcolonial ecologies while exploring the traditions and narratives associated with the environment.

Jane Chang Mi utilizes art to augment her science and engineering background and to work through multi-layered and complex subjects. Mi believes that this approach reduces the constraints of linguistic signifiers, enabling communication across cultures and barriers and permits contact with a greater community. 

An avid and advanced deep sea diver whose experiences in the ocean inform her art, commitments, and vision, Mi's work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, most recently at Beaconsfield Contemporary Art in London and the Honolulu Museum of Art. She has been a visiting artist at the National Gallery in Amman, Jordan sponsored by Art Dubai, a scientist on the Arctic Circle Program departing Spitsbergen, and a fellow at the East West Center at the University of Hawaii.

She is currently a visiting assistant professor at Pepperdine University where she teaches digital arts.
