The daughter of a Venezuelan mother and an Italian father, sumi-e artist and potter
Susana B. Endo grew up surrounded by Mount Avila in Caracas. Combining the tropical
influence of her native land with a fascination for the culture of her Japanese husband,
Endo creates subtle contrasts in chiaroscuro. Abstract compositions of wild bamboo
vegetation shimmering in the breathless heat of a rainforest complement the sophisticated
coolness of Endo's graceful ink brush technique.
She studied at the Koho School of Sumi-e under the Supervision of Koho Yamamoto
Sensei,at the Parsons School of Design , and Chinese Calligraphy at
Kampo Cultural Center, all in New York City.
She also apprenticed with Master Potter Sakuma Fujia in Mashiko, Japan (Samples).
Endo's Sumi-e paintings won first prize during an exhibition at The Brooklyn Botanic Garden,
third prize at the Venezuelan Center , and a Bronze mention at the Kampo Cultural Center
for her Calligraphy.
