ABOUT THE ARTWORK
My aim is to balance the interaction between form and space, as well as ink and paper. By Capturing the natural spontaneity of Chinese brushwork with a western approach to color and aesthetics my goal is to transcend a traditional art form. To better understand the style of painting we can look at the teaching of my two masters. The basic philosophy of painting was established by Master Lin and her emphasis on the balance between form and space. This means that the empty space of Master Lin's paintings have the same importance as the plum blossom branch which reaches across the void. This gives the paintings the feeling of boundlessness and timelessness. In great Chinese paintings a perfect balance exists between shapes and the void which defines them and these works are said to have Chi. Within the same frame, we see the influence of Master Cai and his "rhythmic abstractions." Rhythmic abstractions are modern Chinese brushstrokes that lend texture, depth and density to a painting. Master Cai has mastered this technique and his landscapes or trees appear to vibrate with life. By combining the teachings of two masters, I have developed a style which embraces ancient yet sophisticated concepts of emptiness as well as contemporary brushstrokes which lends my work "life-movement." Each piece is varnished with a UV protectant.

Nha Vuu
United States
In 1979, Nha Vuu and her family fled from their home in Vietnam to escape communist persecution. After living for two years as refugees the Vuu family was granted asylum in the United States. Nha, lived in Seattle for twenty years before making a bold return to Asia to study Chinese painting and travel extensively abroad. Within the five years of living in Taiwan, she studied under Lin Ruo-Yu (林 若 瑜) and Cai Mao-Song (蔡 茂 松). Master Lin taught a classical style of painting whose principles serve as the foundation for all Chinese art and date back several thousand years. Under master Lin's teaching she developed the traditional Chinese theories of unity, balance and movement. Master Cai, on the other hand, taught a contemporary style of Chinese painting only developed in the last fifty years. His style emphasized textured brushwork that lends density, depth and an expressive power to a composition. Since her return to America she developed a brush technique that conveys the energy of the artist while lending an emotive texture to the surface of her paintings. The goal of Nha Vuu’s art is not to copy an object, rather it is to capture the sensations one gets by viewing an object. She is currently selling her artwork in museums, galleries and nationally juried art shows and is now residing with her artist husband Chris Wheeler and daughter in Fort Collins Colorado.
