George Orbelian on Painting
The two main inspirations in my painting are Ms. Narae Mochizuki, a Japanese Calligraphy teacher I had the pleasure to learn from at San Francisco State University, and my friend, expressionist painter Tom Lieber.
Japanese calligraphy because every brush stroke records a moment that reflects birth, life and death.
Tom because he embodies being comfortable with the process and work of creating – venturing freely without judgement.
