Stone seals designed by Janet Kozachek

Stone seals are an integral part of the art of Chinese painting.  They are written in an ancient form of Chinese called Zhuan.   These were carved with a steel blade onto stones purchased from Inner Mongolia.  They read from right to left:  "Long Life and Eternal Joy"  and "Do Nothing."

These paintings are from a series of brush paintings depicting the Argentine Tango using hand ground inks on imported mulberry paper.  The Red seal affixed to these paintings reads "Tango," which means in Chinese "The searching dagger."  For a full article on this series click here
