曾美貞出生及成長於香港,喜愛塗鴉,1974年移民加拿大後一直為生計蹉跎,待一切塵埃落地後重拾兒時興趣。90年代,機緣巧合下拜入了司徒乃鍾老師的國畫班,他的嶺南花鳥畫色彩豐盈,美侖美奐,為之而吸引。老師回國後,一直秉承師訓多寫生,師在自然。曾拜潘淑俊老師習畫,劉渭賢老師習書法,後更得陳藴化老師悉心指導,令我鍾愛以渲染手法營造浪漫情懷。自習畫後,對加拿大得天獨厚的自然風光傾倒,常出外旅遊觀鳥寫生,以求近距離觀察想要描繪的花鳥景致,了解筆下的主角。

曾任加拿大華人藝術家協會理事,翰墨楓情雅敘筆會委員,現為加拿大中華文化總會理事,及温哥華中僑國畫班導師。

2018年參加香港首屆國際嶺南畫派學會邀請展。
