Happy Holidays - Xīn nián kuài lè! Gung hay fat choy! Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu!
Zen brush painting is a meditative art as you breathe, let go and let the brush go. One of a kind experiences, ink flows and one of a kind paintings appear.
My work is in public and private collections and I have illustrated two books, Zen by the Brush and a James Beard-nominated cookbook, A Taste of Heaven and Earth. My illustrations have appeared in the Buddhist journals, Tricycle Magazine, Shambala Sun, Lions Roar, Zen Notes, and Spirituality and Health.
Recently I have done commissions for personal zodiac animals for children's rooms, nursery art, baby showers, weddings and anniversary presents, memorial gifts. Please feel free to contact me for any personal requests.

5 out of 5 starsThank you for helping me with this picture. At first I wasn't sure but after talking to you I knew I had to have it. Not disappointed and all I can say is it's beautiful and fun at the same time! Excited to have these two paintings.

5 out of 5 starsI am so happy to have received this beautiful painting. I feel honored to have your work now hanging in my bedroom... a space that I have radically transformed into a meditative sanctuary. This motif is something that I will gleefully glare at as I connect with the life principles I am learning while following the Tao. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with us.

Zen by the Brush - enlightening and spirited art
I developed my zen style of brush painting during my zen monastic life in New York State and in Japan. I love the paintings of Paul Reps, Sengai, Hakkuin. I have illustrated two books: a James Beard nominated vegetarian cookbook "A Taste of Heaven and Earth"( Harper Collins) and "Zen by the Brush" (Stewart, Tabori and Chang). My work is in public and private collections.
I started painting Chinese Zodiac new years cards to give to my friends about 12 years ago. In Japan, it is a tradition to send new years greetings on January 1. And thought to share "hey maybe others would perhaps like to do the same."

Care instructions
4 x 9 inch paintings fit well in a standard frame 8.5 x 11 with matting
6 x 9 inch paintings fit well in 10 x 13 frame with matting
12 x 12 inch paintings fit in a "album" cover frame perfectly.
In case my wild brushstrokes come close to the edge of the paper, you could "float" art with the matting opening larger than the artwork.
