Stories in Brush and Ink

Sarah Oh shares her own work and the traditions of Korean painting — the stories behind the paintings, the techniques, and the practice of learning.

Why I Paint Chickens

Giving the humblest subject the dignity of literati painting

Finding a landscape scroll on Interstate 5

Reading Korean folk painting through its symbols

Redrawing the circle of 'La Danse' in ink

What a beginner first discovers before the brush

Bringing the light of craft into painting

An old wish, painted for centuries

Making sound visible
