  • Thursday, May 7, 6-7:30 – Opening Reception, “The Poetry of a Chinese Watercolor Spring”

    Jing Hua’s watercolor painting garnered high acclaim in her last exhibit at Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, Massachusetts.  Jing Hua uses traditional Chinese brush painting techniques to paint landscapes, birds and flowers, and figures in either detail or free style.  Her watercolors move between classic and contemporary Chinese concepts.  Ms. Dalia’s works reflect her intensive training that began at the age of nine with her father, the prominent Chinese artist and calligraphy master Chiang Kai-shek’s son, Chiang Ching-guo, the President of the Republic of China.  Her studying continued under some of China’s most outstanding watercolorists. She earned a degree from the National Taiwan Normal University and went on to graduate work in Hawaii.  She has exhibited at galleries across the country including the Soho Art Museum, The Copley Society, and the Currier Museum.  Meet the artist at the opening reception, which will offer a cash bar and light refreshments.  Free and open to the public.  For more information call 508-869-6111, or log on to www.towerhillbg.org.  The exhibit will run from May 5 – June 14, 2009.
