Me in Guilin in 1987
I first journeyed to paint in China way back in 1987. I travelled for a month all over the country and then went and studied with artists from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. I then returned to paint in China in 2000 and 2002. My latest travels here were in Sept. 2010. You may read about some of these earlier trips at http://www.worldarttours.net/chinaarttours.html.
