Watercolor is a balance of control and spontaneity, where light, movement, and color merge to create something both intentional and unexpected.
——Cindy Briggs

With confident brushstrokes and an eye for atmosphere, Hanbing Hua captures fleeting light and subtle moods. His realism is alive with feeling—each scene not just seen, but deeply sensed.
——Hanbing Hua

Through form, color, and imagination, Suzchiang Tan evokes emotion and meaning, shaping stillness into stories, and space into soul. His abstract visions breathe with quiet intensity and personal expression.
—— Suzchiang Tan

Influenced by classical Chinese landscape painting, Prasad Beaven's work blends ink, layered washes, and open space to evoke imagined terrains where inner and outer worlds blur. Through intuitive mark-making, his compositions unfold into landscapes filled with stillness, distance, and quiet suggestion.
——Prasad Beaven
