| Introduction | I am a contemporary Sumi-e artist reaching beyond the limits of traditional ink painting and creating the ‘sound of one hand’. My paintings one would not generally call traditional sumi-e. However, I adhere to the traditional sumi-e principles and philosophies, as well as, the traditional preparation before beginning a sumi-e painting. Sumi-e expresses the character and soul of the artist. It is a meditative process and spiritually personal. Understanding this concept has been at the center of my art. I am currently the Director of the North American Branch of ICCPS - International Chinese Calligraphy and Ink Painting Society. This is a global society dedicated to the ancient art of sumi (ink). |
