I am excited to share this set of tea-themed images by artist Ron Bower. Ron and his wife Sylvia (also an artist) currently make their home in Kentucky where they are friends of Bruce and Shelley Richardson of Elmwood Inn Fine Teas. The four of them often share tea together - accompanied by lively conversations about art and life. Ron particularly enjoys a dark, bold, tea such as one of the single estate Assams carried by Elmwood Inn Fine Teas.
In his decision to create woodcuts, Ron was inspired by the woodcuts of Kentucky artist, Harlan Hubbard.
Ron, like the Richardsons, is inspired by the Japanese aesthetic and tea ceremony. So when he decided to create a set of tea-themed images, it was natural for him to depict implements from the Japanese tea ceremony.
