My paintings are an expression of my feelings, my experience, my chi/energy, and some magic.

Using the sumi brush, rice paper, ink and watercolors, I can express my spirit. With these tools I try to capture “The Breath of Life.”

I feel a kinship with the painters, poets and calligraphers of Asia’s rich cultural past.

Presently, I am developing pieces incorporating the culture, materials, and tools of both the East and the West. The horse is my primary focus and is the ideal subject for expressing motion.

Calligraphy also brings me joy and a sense of freedom. In the East Asian culture, Painting and Calligraphy have equal artistic and spiritual importance.

My wish is that the viewer becomes part of the experience and will feel the spirit of my running brush as they respond to the Chi/Energy in my brush stroke.
