Editor's Top List: Cathie's sumi-e skills have slowly grown, guided by her teachers, her books, and her constant exploration. I chose what I believe to be most technically and substantially significant and placed them here. Some of them were the results of painstaking labor, with numerous drafts on quality xuan. Others were the result of serendipity, a synchrony between the artist and her brush, expressed on inexpensive newsprint. But either way, these are her works that are most prized to me for the growing mastery that they express.
