About the Instructor: Michael Shiue, born and raised in Taiwan, came to the USA in 1976 to attend Ohio State University for his Ph.D. in Chemistry. During his career he worked in chemical research at Princeton University, The Rockefeller University, and several pharmaceutical companies in central NJ. He took up calligraphy as a serious pursuit, a passion from youth, after retiring in 2010. As a child and teen in Taiwan the strokes of calligraphy characters intrigued him by their fluidity and grace and he wished to express himself in this way once more. He is much in demand and has given lectures and performed calligraphy demonstrations at many charitable events in the Princeton area, as well as in schools, colleges, community centers, and libraries.
