Anderson Yang
(楊恩生)
Taiwan
為臺灣第一代的生態藝術家，三十歲之前即以「水彩靜物畫」成名，成為龍門畫廊的經紀畫家。自1988年起，陸續接受了三家企業的贊助，探訪世界各地，追尋鳥類的蹤跡及觀察野生動物；1990至1995年間，為臺灣設計規劃了多套與自然有關的郵票；並曾出版八本以上暢銷的水彩教科書。
2012年至2016年，為臺師大主編《臺灣水彩調查》、《水彩材料學初探》、《水彩的色彩研究》、《水彩靜物畫-寧靜的生命》，使臺灣水彩畫作注入一股研究的契機。2016年開始投入繪本創作，分別與小魯出版社、格林文化出版社合作出版《遇見達爾文：加拉巴哥群島尋祕記》、《自然之聲》。
Anderson Yang is the first generation of the eco-artists in Taiwan. He has been known for “watercolor still life painting” before his 30, and thus became the contract artist to Lung Men Art Gallery. Since 1988, Yang has been sponsored by three enterprises one after another and traveled around the world to track birds and observe wildlife. From 1990 to 1995, the artist designed series of postage stamps related to nature for Taiwan. In addition, Yang also published over 8 best-seller watercolor textbooks.
From 2012 to 2016, Anderson Yang served as the editor-in-chief for NTNU, compilingWatercolor Investigation of Taiwan, A Preliminary Study on Watercolor Materials, Colour Research for Watercolour, and Watercolor Still Life and ushered in the opportunity for research on watercolor painting in Taiwan. The artist threw himself into the world of picture books since 2016, and worked with Tien-Wei Publishing Company and Grimm Press, Inc. to publish Meet with Darwin: the Adventure to Galapagos Islands and Sounds of Nature.
楊恩生 《自然之聲》(Cover of Sounds of Nature_ picture book)
在繪畫的世界裡漂泊了四十年，單幅水彩畫至少畫了了六、七百張 ，卻發現很難只用單幅畫面說明一項探險活動或故事。繪本卻不同，至少是以 16 張跨頁的圖，述說一個完整的故事。
Drifting in the world of painting for forty years, I have drawn at least six or seven hundred single-frame watercolor paintings. However, I find it hard to narrate an adventure or story with a single picture. A picture book is different, telling a complete story with at least.16 double-spread pages of pictures.
楊恩生 《自然之聲》繪本內頁(p3-4 of Sounds of Nature_ picture book)
但願繪本《自然之聲》能為台灣的生態保育做出一點貢獻。生態學談的是演化、特有種、滅絕等議題，而藝術則是創造。透過藝術的環保，正是當前全球所需要的。
May the picture book "Sounds of Nature" contribute something to the ecological conservation in Taiwan. Ecology talks about issues of evolution, endemic species, and extinction, while arts is about creation. The environmental protection via arts is what we need worldwide nowadays.
古厝中的戴勝 (Hoopoe in a Vintage House)
戴勝為金門普遍的留鳥，棲息於石砌古墓的廢墟中及頹傾的古厝裡；在金門民族文化裡，他與居民生活十分接近。他高聳的冠，黑白及棕 的兩色，十分吸引藝術家的注目。
The bird Hoopoe is a resident bird commonly seen in Kinmen. They habitat in the ruins of stone-made tombs and decadent old houses. It is close to the citizens’ lives in the ethnic culture of Kinmen. Its distinctive crown with colors of black and brown catches the eyes of artists.
