Time - 7:00pm

Location - Location - 1011 Washington Avenue South, Suite 100

MCBA/Jerome Fellow Cecilia Ramon worked for years with a master artist learning the meditative ink painting practice known as Sumi-e painting. In this roundtable, she'll talk about the philosophy and practice of Sumi-e, which seeks to capture the spiritual essences of "the Four Gentlemen" (bamboo, orchid, chrysanthemum, and cherry blossom). The talk will be followed by a brief demonstration using traditional Sumi-e tools.
