Mian Situ
" I am thankful for the talent I have been blessed with, the experience of my youth, the opportunities provided through my education, my golden mountian 'America', the appreciation of the beauty all around us, most of all my family. I enjoy a spiritual motivation in my paintings, the research, thinking, planning. The conscientious thought of being involved in the subject matter is equally important to me as my technical skill" - Mian Situ
