I create my art from 2,000-year-old frescoes and the work of the Old Masters, following the tradition of Chinese calligraphy. I write my paintings out as if they were poems, using either oil on fine linen canvases or watercolor, ink, and Chinese paint pigments on rice paper. While conveying a sense of history, I strive to preserve simplicity of form, by following the gentle rhythm of the brush. The more frugal the message, the stronger the need for essential lines.
