Artist Statement in the show: Ping Yan started to learn drawing and painting at a very early age and works in a wide variety of mediums including Chinese brush painting, oil, acrylic, colored pencil, water color, pastel, pen sketch. Ping’s artworks involve an extensive area of subject matters and styles from oriental to impressionism, light to dark values. The One of Ping's favorite art subjects is peony. Regarded as one of the most exquisite flowers in Chinese culture, the peony is a symbol for nobility, value and beauty. Peony in full bloom represents prosperity and peace and will bring good fortune and success to people. The action of creating artworks enriched her life and provided her with both physical and mental relaxation. Ping believes that Qigong and the way of Chinese brush painting have something in common: breathe management, physical exercise and mental focus.
