"AAWAA in Brooklyn" represents the rich diversity of AAWAA members in terms of culture as well as a broad range of artistic approaches in a variety of disciplines. Seema Christie of Indian decent, paints tempera on paper that are inspired by spiritual enlightment. Suejin Jo's small acrylic paintings are part of her Italian experience. Yan Kong's Four Seasons on rice paper gives hints of her Chinese heritage yet modern in expression. Three photographers, Alice Benessia ( Italian), Chie Nishio (Japanese), Anna Song (Korean) each sees life manifest through their trained eyes. Yeachin Tsai's etching is colorful and mysterious; Marianne Ramos Œs drawings on canvas are engaging and detached the same time; Fannie Lee's fiber collage is poetic and reminiscing; Karin Soika's ink drawing is powerfully German expressionistic; Jacie Lee Almira's mixed media work dwells on life in detail.
