Born in Beijing in 1957 during the Cultural Revolution Z.Z. Wei had to wait until 1984 before he could apply to the painting department of the Central Institute of Arts and Design.

In 1989 he came to the United States at the invitation of the Washington State Centennial Committee for the Pacific Rim Cultural Communication Project.

It was in Walla Walla that he became inspired by the Northwest landscape of rolling fields. Wei paints large oil landscapes in a palette of golds, deep reds, blues and brown that reminisce of an earlier time. His work often has a vintage 1930s car rolling over the hills and puffy white clouds in the sky.
