Nina Fishman


After visiting Japan as a teenager, Nina began a lifelong appreciation of Japanese and Chinese brush painting. She has studied sumi-e with Sensei Takashi Ijichi since 2001. Nina was awarded teacher status in 2010, and served as President of the Friends of Taka Sumi-e from 2013-2015. Recently, Nina has joined Lung Hsiang and the Chinese Brush Painting Society.

She has exhibited at the Friends of Taka Sumi-e shows, Mission Trails Regional Park, and the Del Mar Fair, receiving third Prize in 2008.  Sumi-e, she believes, unites the spirit, mind, heart, hand and brush into a spontaneous, yet disciplined art creation.
