Eternal Spring

“What would be a good title for this show?”

I was tossing around several ideas, and I asked my father.

He asked, “Do you know the poem, “Eternal Spring” by JangChun, the Daoist Chinese poet?” Of course, I didn’t know.

That phrase, embodying both his understanding of my paintings and his hopes for them, viewed from the hilltop of his ninety-nine years, was the perfect answer.

A yearning for the eternal spring that magically surprises us every year with vitality and beauty that never fades with time.

This exhibition contains several stories from my life, presented together regardless of time period or medium, all seeking beauty and compassion as their ultimate goal.

I get to draw and paint this magical life every day, all day long.

I am blessed.
