Canvas Traditional Danhui Nai Wall Art

Danhui Nai was born and raised in mainland China. As the child of a sculptor and a painter, it is a small wonder that she showed an interest in art at a very early age. When she was five years old, she drew a gymnast while watching a competition. Shortly after that, her father secretly gave her a copied art anatomy book, then banned by the Chinese government. He also taught her how to paint on plaster casts of geometric forms. Danhui Nai paints with a variety of media including watercolors, gouache, acrylics, oils and tempera. She uses a layering technique to apply color. Danhui Nai lives in the San Francisco Bay area. She has a flower garden outside her studio and loves to paint in the garden when weather permits. Her antique roses and other flowers are among her favorite subjects.
