"The Chinese have a saying, "From heart to arm - to hand...to brush....to paper." This epitomizes the concept of Hsieh-i, or the "written idea," the spontaneous, expressive approach to Chinese brush painting known as the Literati, or free-form style.
Nan Rae trained as an artist in the Western tradition at the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Colorado. A visit in 1980 to Monet's home in Giverny inspired her study of Chinese brush painting, and she has taught its techniques since 1984. She lives in Burbank, CA.
