Welcome. This work is for you. 

Inspired by the Zen ensō, these ink drawings capture a moment in time, a deep breath. Reflecting the interconnection of all beings, this is an invitation to look deeper.

Touch into presence. Find peace and freedom in the color and the lines.

This work brings nature to the page. Mountain is here. Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Space are here. Seasons and Time are here. Magic and the Goddess are here. 

Process: Sitting in the stillness with the intention or the person in mind, a form is placed on the paper using colors that capture the spirit of the piece. Going directly to essence. Then over a period of hours and days, the forms are filled in with small overlapping lines that create texture and movement. 

About the Artist

Choro

Choro (“clear dew” ) is a seeker, an adventurer, and a lover of nature and poetry. A practitioner of Zen Buddhism, Choro is deeply connected to the natural world and finds the most joy by the ocean, hiking, camping, cycling, bikepacking, and foraging for materials to make ink. Cultivating stillness, looking deeply into the nature of things, and living a life of non harming provide the landscape of Choro’s life along with the Three Tenets -not knowing, bearing witness to suffering, and compassionate action. Choro lives in the Hudson Valley with their beautiful person, their dogs River and Chloe and all of the other wonderful beings that live on the Land.
