Xi is in great demand as an instructor and teacher. Her paintings are magical compositions consisting of intricate tangles of vegetation and drama executed with exacting precision.

She has won numerous other awards and her art is displayed throughout the world. “By my paintings, both nature and portraits, I am seeking the beauty of the forms of lives, delightful and ugly, booming and straggling, flourishing and dead. My paintings are also about the need for something that can take viewers out of here, out of themselves…” Visit Xi Guo’s website at www.xiguopainting.com.
