I have been studying chinese brush painting for
many  years now.  I have had two wonderful
teachers.  My first teacher, Tara Hu, taught me
chinese calligraphy.  With my second teacher, Jean
Shen, I am learning painting.  I am very grateful to
my teachers for their inspiration and patience.  They
have taught me to see the world differently.  My art
has become an expression of what I see. I am
particularly fond of landscape painting.
When I paint a landscape painting, I feel
the landscape; the breeze touching my skin, the
sound of water and squirls, the smell of pine.   
Painting is  moving meditation, and my mind comes
to the brush in my hand, the smell of the ink, the
sight of the stroke, the smell of the kumquat tree
which hovers above my meditation/painting table.  I
love to sit on my deck, under the kumquat tree,
painting.
