Yuan Jai was born in Chongqing, Sichuan Province. Yuan majored in traditional Chinese painting in Department of Fine Arts, National Taiwan Normal University in 1962. Then she graduated from Belgium Royal College of Heritage Maintenance in PhD. degree in 1968. After completing her education, the artist worked for decades at the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Well trained by Chinese traditional academy theories and cultivated by European art forms, Yuan’s art style combines the beauty between traditional Chinese and European paintings. For example, the models in Yuan's works use geometrical and symbolic approaches to re-interpret traditional landscape painting. Yuan’s works were widely exhibited in Taipei Fine Arts Museum, National Museum of History, Taiwan and Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts.
