About the instructors
Yeh Fei Pai
Born in 1950. Yeh Fei Pai is an accomplished "Expressive Splash Ink" painter who hails from Taiwan. He blends distinct calligraphic strokes with modern, cinematic principles to create unique and unpredictable compositions for his Celestial Horses.
Fei Pai's Celestial Horses and landscapes are the personifications of his mind and emotions. He returns to Gualala as part of his mission of educating communities through arts and to share his latest creations.
Eric Kevin Yeh - son of Yeh Fei Pai
Born in 1984. From a young age, Kevin has struggled with the duality of being culturally American and Chinese. The inheritance of his family's art allows him to transcend language and bridge between the two cultures.
A former biologist turned designer, he emerged not as a left or right brained person, but a whole brain person.
Co-published, with Amy Inn, "Yeh Fei Pai's Celestial Horses."
