Sophie Chang
Artist Sophie Chang is dedicated to establishing a network of “love and care” through volunteerism
Profile
Sophie Chang picked up the paintbrush relatively late in life, yet she quickly mastered the basics and developed her own visual language, using Western abstraction with Eastern tools and techniques such as ink wash and calligraphy. As the wife of Morris Chang, retired chairman of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, she heads its charity arm, which provides services to the elderly, aid and education to disadvantaged groups, and promotes environmental conservation and filial piety.
Among her numerous philanthropic initiatives include taking hundreds of employees and their families on an excursion to help revive the tourism of earthquake-struck Hualien County, donating one of her paintings to auction at Christie’s for the benefit of Save the Children, and launching a COVID-19 donation drive to provide medical equipment for hospitals in India.
