Artist Statement
Welcome!
I invite you to explore the world through my eyes—one brushstroke at a time. My work is rooted in a deep respect for nature, capturing its beauty and fleeting moments in the expressive tradition of Asian brush painting. Using hand-ground sumi ink, bamboo brushes, and handmade rice papers, I strive to bring the elegance and spontaneity of this ancient art form to life.
From the delicate veins of a leaf to the rhythmic motion of ocean waves, nature has always been my greatest teacher. Growing up in New England, my curiosity led me to my basement laboratory where I experimented, explored and invented. Today, my studio—and the great outdoors—serve as my creative laboratory, where I continue my lifelong journey of discovery.
Asian brush painting demands a balance of skill, mindfulness, and intuition. Each stroke is final—there’s no erasing, no second chances. When "heart, mind, and hand are in accord," the results can be truly magical. The red seal or “chop” on my artwork is a signature of authenticity, marking the moment of completion of that particular artistic expression.
I’ve had the honor of studying with three master Chinese brush painters (Jean Shen, Hsiung Ju, and Ning Yeh) since 1972, and their teachings continue to inspire my work.
