About
Join artist Jasmine Li for a live ink painting demonstration rooted in traditional Chinese brushwork. Over the course of the session, Jasmine will be creating an original artwork on-site, sharing insights into her techniques, cultural influences, and creative process along the way. Audience members are welcome to ask questions and engage in conversation throughout the event. Whether you are curious about classical East Asian aesthetics, the symbolism of animals in Chinese painting, or the journey of an artist blending tradition with contemporary expression—this is a rare opportunity to observe and interact up close.
Suitable for all ages. Feel free to drop in at any point during the session.
