Hello, my name is
Frank Kawasaki, the teacher of the Chinese brush painting
class. Born and raised in Tacoma,
I was exposed to calligraphy
at an early age. But for a long time, my interest was more
into baseball or just hanging out with friends. Well,
calligraphy stays with me and has had a tremendous impact on
my learning the art of brush painting even going back 60
years in my life. Being spontaneous and honoring nature are
my inspiration to what I do. Since I do not depend on income
from my paintings, I paint what I feel, especially going
back to the ancient masters and the incredible works they
created. What I try to do at the Evergreen Chinese Academy
is to provide an atmosphere of do-able artwork in the short
time of a lesson, whether 30 minutes or an hour. I also
want to show different techniques so that in their spare
time or at a later time in life…students will be able to
create meaningful
