LENA LIU THE MUSIC ROOM I FIRST EDITION 209/2500

Description: Music Room I is the first issue in Lena's very popular Music Room Series and the third in the Nostalgia Series, preceded by "Quiet Moment" and "The Morning Room". It is a most memorable masterpiece of romance. The strains of Chopin's "Raindrops" are resounding on the snuffed candle smoke, awaking the Cherubs delicately arranged in the petals and the candlelabra. This Cherub Quintet is getting ready to accompany the Ballarinas for the second performance. Lena Liu's treatment of the flowers, light, and reflections with color and her approach to them on silk creates a spectacular image. The Cherub Quintet, delicately placed in the flowers and the candlelabra, and the Degas Ballerinas are a delight and leave the viewer breathlessly awaiting the beginning of the performance. The setting in this old world Music Room is charming and is certain to rekindle memories of romantic moments and treasured dreams. Artist BiographyArtist Lena Liu is a painter of unparalleled popularity in today's collectibles market — art lovers the world over enjoy the universal yet personal character of her paintings. Beautiful birds, tranquil landscapes, and breathtaking floral and musical still life images are among her collector's favorites. Lena had her first painting lessons as a child in Taiwan under the guidance of renowned painters: Professors Sun Chia-Chin and Huang Chun-Pi. She came to the United States in 1972 to study architecture at the State University of Buffalo and later did graduate work at the School of Architecture at U.C.L.A. However, her true passion never left her, and in 1977, she began to paint full-time. Today, avid collectors enjoy her artwork across various media, including limited-edition prints, porcelain collector's plates, ornaments, figurines, music boxes, sculptures, cards, tapestries, bookmarks, and calendars. Lena has achieved recognition at national shows and exhibits. She was honored by the Collector's Information Bureau (CIB) as Best Plate Artist of the Year and as Collector's Choice Artist of the Year. She was named the Canadian Artist of the Year at the Canadian Collectible of the Year Awards. Lena was also an inaugural inductee into the prestigious Bradford Exchange Plate Artist Hall of Fame. Lena Liu and her husband Bill live in Maryland, in the home she designed to accommodate their joint loves of art, music, and nature. As often as she is able, Lena spends time in her garden where she attains inspiration for many of her paintings. She also loves to watch the birds that live around her home and studio. Although Lena appreciates the loveliness of all birds, she admits to liking chickadees the most, "maybe because they remind me of small children, with their round little bodies and cute expressions." "I strive to create a sense of romance, poetry, and music in my painting. Emotion, love, and nature will never change, and I try to capture that in my art. I let what touches my heart pass through my fingers. I hope you and I can keep sharing this love of nature's beauty, and continue to delight in the splendor of the world that surrounds us.""
