The Goal of Zen Artistry 

cool-calligraphy-in-japanese-writing-2-z

The goal of Zen artistry is to combine the ancient wisdom of the past with the demands and applications of the present.  We provide examples of Zen influence in a modern context.  Throughout this site, we find ourselves making innumerable connections from early Zen practice to the present day that’s seen in a variety of settings
and venues.  From the ancient Japanese garden of Ryoanji in Kyoto to the creation of the Apple iPhone
in the 21st century, these representations emerge from
the same sensibility and creative well-spring through time. 
Zen artistry presupposes a distinct lens and perspective on spirituality, personal conduct as well as creativity
in design.  So, we invite you to take a journey together
in considering Zen artistry from the past and its enduring influence.
