Forest Qing Zhang began paving the 21’st Century Silk Art Road in 2002, when Forest and his family immigrated to Canada from Suzhou, China.

In 2004, King Silk Art evolved out of Silk Art’s growing local popularity. Our success in Canada brought us to a new location in 2006, California, US.

Silk Art is now growing in popularity worldwide. We introduced Silk Art to Japan in 2007, to the UK in 2008, to the Middle East in 2009 and to Australia in 2011.

Nearly 2249 years ago, the first Emperor of China Qin Shi Huang placed eleven families in Suzhou, China to create handmade Silk Art for the imperial families. A descendant of one of the original families, Forest Qing Zhang, King Silk Art’s founder and President, built our family’s company into a global business. King Silk Art is now based on California, US.

King Silk Art creates 100% handmade Silk Art. A talented artist spent months and sometimes years hand stitching this gorgeous Silk Art. This handmade Silk Art is a completely natural form of art. No glues, paint or machinery, just silk, vegetable dyes and a needle. Compared to prints and paintings, silk artwork has a nearly 3 dimensional look and very high value. It is a real one-of-a-kind artwork.

King Silk Art is now based in Southern California. We are proud of our new aesthetic, where we create both this ancient form of art, and add a touch of modern thought into some of the original designs. We believe that with our continuous efforts, this ancient art will never become extinct and will evolve with time.

In 2004, when we first introduced our handmade Silk Art in Canada, we were thrilled by the response. As the years have passed and we’ve visited new countries and continents, we continue to be delighted by the universal admiration for the tradition that is so dear to us. In the future, we hope that more and more people will have a chance to appreciate the beauty of this ancient fine art.
