Sumi-e refers to brushed ink that captures the spirit of poetry or the natural world with minimal strokes and color. This ancient art form has ties to a range of communities and cultural practices, and the sumi-e form emphasizes the beauty of individual brush strokes often made by hand-made brushes on specialized paper. The result provides a strong sense of connection to the artist’s subject. Visit the Welcome Gallery this spring to experience the simple, touching beauty of this ancient form as practiced by modern artists, including many right here on the Eastern Shore.
