Red Rhododendron with Brown Birds - This vivid sumi art piece depicts a red rhododendron with brown birds perched at the bottom, creating a balanced and harmonious composition. The striking contrast of colors makes it a perfect statement piece.Artist’s Statement Living in the lush beauty of the Pacific Northwest lends to the philosophy based on nature of the ancient Asian Sumi-e style of painting. To capture a subject on handmade paper or silk in a few elegant strokes of ink is ideal. The spontaneous line plays a prominent role in the composition of Sumi. The spiritual dimension becomes an all-healing meditative experience. Working with the traditional, teaching this ancient art, I’ve blended my own style depicting subjects that may be insignificant or multifaceted. For me, Sumi has captured my heart and soul. I try to capture a moment so that the viewer feels some positive emotion. My Collage works are little jewels that are typically developed from handmade paper combined with Sumi
