Preface

Art is a continual part of our cultural history.  The search and exploration of life through the arts is something we learn fromthat surrounds us all, regardless of region or race. Artists analyze their minds and record their life into symbols and signs to mark their existence.

 

Under the stars, our Australian friends paint in an open field of nature and wilderness.  Shouting with joy, these artists excitedly release their love for the country in gorgeous colors.

 

Embraced by the sea, Taiwan nurtures artists with humbledemotions.  Upholding the truth of beauty, we look into our hearts to dig out our passion and to record our society in ernest.

 

I am thrilled to meet all of my old friends from Australia and Taiwan thanks to the Ming Chuan University.  May the dialogue between Taiwan and Australia lead us all into a new era of design and creation!
