About Charlene Fuhrman-Schulz

Charlene Fuhrman-Schulz I have always had an interest in art and all things oriental. I began studying Chinese Brush painting in 1989 and what started as an interest in watercolor and ink painting became an all consuming passion - a life-time vocation. I traveled to China and Taiwan several times - visiting the many scenic areas and gardens that are depicted in the fantastic Chinese landscapes. China and Taiwan can be described as a land of mist, with thin mountainous spires rising through the clouds, and when the mist lifts, sheer drops of up to 3000 feet or greater appear. Pines cling to the cliff sides, along with a few monasteries. This is the China seen in many traditional Chinese paintings, and this is the China that inspires many of my traditional oriental paintings. My subject matter is nature, whether it is a traditional or abstract. I use ink and brush on rice paper, to capture movement and life - making the brush dance and the ink sing. Everything is captured in the spontaneous dance and movement of the brush as it meets the rice paper.

This love of spontaneous Chinese painting has provided a unique segue for my exploration of more abstract techniques of Oriental painting such as 'Splashing Ink' or 'PoMo.'

Upon retiring in 2016, the door opened so to speak, providing me with an opportunity to explore a range of mixed medium including encaustic wax, alcohol inks, acrylics, India inks and pastels on substrates ranging from water color paper to yupo, mineral paper, metal surfaces, canvas and ceramic tiles. This exploration has led to a creation of very abstract paintings, expressive landscapes, to more controlled flower and nature paintings.

I currently teach traditional oriental brush painting and 'splashing ink' painting at the Art League School (part of the Torpedo Factory) in Alexandria, Virginia. I am a member (treasurer) of the League of Reston Artists and a member of the Sumi-e Society.
