Seals, Chops & Soapstones


"Let the wonders of nature inspire you and awaken your imagination.” by Anne Steinman. Or more simply put -- Learn From Nature. You will notice my treasured seal on some of my Chinese Brush Paintings. I purchased this seal a few years ago since it nicely summarizes the essence of my painting experiance and love for nature. The calligraphy is beautifully carved on a bamboo soapstone (the soapstone on the left). The two other soapstones in the picture are my name seals (One of my nameseals is shown below).
