Sumi-e with Patricia Larkin Green (click link for full interview)
Patricia Larkin Green is a fine artist and skilled sumi-e ink painter. We were curious about this 2000 year-old art form, and she was more than happy to talk about it with us. We learned how its philosophy, “Less is more,” informs her life today. She describes sumi-e as, “zen painting with ink” — a technique where art meets meditation. Read on for more details about this ancient practice of monks and Samurais. Creative Brunch: Sumi-e Workshop (1-Day)
