New Blog Post- Quest for Art Supplies in Taipei
Current Exhibition- First Friday Santa Cruz
I'm currently and temporarily living in Taipei, Taiwan growing my Mandarin Chinese language skills. This experience is sparking new ways of seeing the world, as any time spent living in another country and learning a new language does. I am particularly drawn to the art of Chinese calligraphy, with its varied styles fusing art and language. The abstract pictographs have for millennia been the visual representations of concepts in the world's oldest living language. I look forward to the unfolding of new directions in my painting as a result of this experience. I never know what will emerge. Art, like life, is a wondrous adventure! -Amy
