About Me:
 
Trained in a time-honored tradition of art, I began painting in 1974 under Zhang Zhengyin, a master in my hometown Nanjing. I was majored in Archaeology when I went Nanjing University in 1978, and became a fellow of the Center for Oriental Painting and Calligraphy Study in 1983. I taught traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy at the University of Washington, Experimental College from 1988 to 1995. My art works have been exhibited and collected around the world for more than 20 years.

I work tediously to make my paintings look effortless, spontaneous and joyful.

Hobbies:
Chinese Brush Painting -- Similar to its descendant Japanese sumi painting, traditional Chinese brush painting is an exercise of the mind. It requires peace, calm, focus, and serendipity. It was originally practiced by the Chinese literati scholars, as a way to meditate on paper. I try to use the traditional practice, as closely as possible. You only get to do each stroke ONCE. You can't go back and touch things up, so each painting is unique.

Thank you for providing a great foundation for the Chinese brush painting beginner in explaining The Four Gentlemen and other essentials. I would really like to see how a sumi-e painting is composed, how you find the essence of a subject, particularly landscapes, and how to do "more with less.  Thanks again.
