Jiazi Yin is an artist based in Duluth, Georgia. She grew up in China and spent four years residing in Japan before arriving in the United States in 2014 to follow her artistic aspirations.

Yin’s work is based on her understanding of memory, time and space, and interpersonal relationships. The subject matter varies from human figures to abstractions. These are executed primarily with oil, acrylic, cyanotype on canvas, wood panels, and Yupo paper.

Yin uses color to express memories and emotions. As an immigrant, maps signify relocation and memory. She includes abstract maps in her work so she won't get lost. Yupo paper is the main material for her abstract work. Its translucent nature lends itself to the ambiguity of memory, while its double-sided usability provides more layers to memory. For figurative work, she mainly uses cyanotype, a photographic material that reveals the quasi-transience and nothingness of memory.

Yin earned her M.F.A. degree from the American University in 2023, where she was awarded the Vollmer Family scholarship, Van Swearingen Award, and Stanley G.Wolpoff Award. She got her BA degree from the University of Maryland in studio art focused on painting in 2021 with honors. While at UMD, she was awarded the Creative and Performing Arts Scholarship and OMSE Academic Excellence Award.

Yin has participated in numerous exhibitions with D.C. area galleries, such as Stamp Gallery, Latela Curatorial, Touchstone Gallery, Portico Gallery, DC Arts Center, Rhizome DC, Brentwood Art Exchange, Anacostia Arts Center, Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center, and Katzen Arts Center, among other online galleries.  She currently teaches Drawing and 2D Design at the Perimeter College at Georgia State University.
