Studio Boone-Chinese Brush Painting is first and foremost about education. I learn every time I pick up a brush to paint. I believe that it is important for practitioners of skilled labor to pass on their knowledge to anyone who is eager to learn. Chinese brush painting is an art form that is handed down from teacher to student. I have been very fortunate to have a teacher as willing to share as Ning Yeh. It would dishonor him if I failed to teach my students as well as I can.

Studio Boone-Chinese Brush Painting is also about personal growth. Chinese brush painting transcends art and becomes a continual challenge to grow as a person. Poor brush strokes and mistakes cannot be corrected in Chinese brush painting. The challenge is nothing short of perfection in every stroke. Perfection is a lofty goal and not often achieved, so how will you cope with your mistakes? The answer to this question is the heart of Chinese brush painting. Each of us will respond to the challenge of perfection differently. It is a very personal journey.
