Shijun H. Munns
Born
in the province of Guangdong, China. Shijun is a graduate of Guangzhou
academy of Fine arts 1987. Shijun is a recipient of numerous awards for her
artistic achievements in both painting and art instruction.
Shijun
cares about everything that could touch off an old days feelings; ancient poetry
with implied meaning, ancient pottery with rough and simple design, flying
faeries on the ancient silk road. Indeed, Shijun seems to look back into
space-time while her paintings spring forward into our time to bring us images
of deep and profound souls glimmering in soft, golden light. In Shijun's art it
is impossible to discern the real from the imagined or the ancient from what is
now.
It
may be that Shijun's quiet life and gentle heart have enabled her to express
dreams and emotions lost or hidden to the rest of mankind. She brings forth
vivid images of life that draw us deep into thought and wonder and into a realm
where we ourselves become lost in worlds full of bright color and soft light.
Shijun
is blessed with an artist's eye and a poet's heart. Whether painting in oil,
water color or mixed media painting, she is forever delighted by the
results which seem to spring from a deep and ancient well that forms her
artist's palette. Her muse gives her a love for oriental simplicity of form.
