Young Choe is a kusamono artist who studied traditional art in her native Korea before moving to the United States and earning her BS in horticulture from the University of Maryland. While volunteering at the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum, she brought her artistic talent together with her knowledge of horticulture to create kusamono. This recent presentation and demonstration was attended by member Darlene Boyd at the Santa Cruz Bonsai Kai. This is Ms. Choe finishing up a kusamon made from a club member donated pot and plants, to create a beautiful masterpiece. Her presentation can be viewed here.
