Ayan Rivera will be the featured artist at The Lost Quill this Friday for Art Walk and he’s inviting us all to join him. 

“His incredible pieces speak not just of wonderful technique and understanding of his subjects, but more importantly, the essence of Sumi-e, giving us a glimpse of how the soul sees life and interprets it.” 

Why Ink?
Ayan is drawn to the ritual, simplicity and spontaneity of this medium. The ritual grinding of the ink stick, the indelible nature of each stroke — all useful lessons for rowing “gently down the stream.”
