Beautiful and elegant Sumi-e prints and cards from the original art of accomplished Carmel artist Casey Shannon.

- From the artist: Ink painting is a meditation and a creative process. I concentrate on trying to capture spirit as the ink is transferred to the paper with the stroke of the brush. The brush is pushed across the surface of the paper quickly. If your intention is correct, the object in the picture seems to 'breathe and take on life'. This unseen yet felt breath begins to fill the page with spirit just as it does in all of nature which surrounds us. The special power of the painted form shines and appears through the ink and the white page. The white space surrounding the painted form becomes as important as the object itself. The ink painting represents soul, spirit, elegance, and beauty all at the same time and in concert. I am a contemporary Sumi-e painter reaching beyond the limits of traditional ink painting. As I mentioned in my 'About' biography, meditating combined with the creative process literally saved my life.
