Maria Papp, an internationally recognized Sumi-e Artist will be displaying her work for the First Friday Art Walk on January 6, 2012 at the University of South Alabama Baldwin County.  Papp grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and she attended the Universidad El Salvador.  She shares her first love has always been art, and she studied at the Fine Arts Institute of Buenos Aires to prepare for a career as a visual artist.

Papp began identifying with the concept of Sumi-e, or ink brush painting more than 25 years ago. The Japanese word Sumi-e means “Ink Picture’’ or “black ink painting.”  This ancient discipline is an economy of brush strokes used to communicate the essence of the subject.
Sumi-e goes far beyond painting; it is a source of spiritual development for Taoist scholars and intellectuals.

Papp’s work has been featured and recognized in regional, national, and international exhibits.  Her work has been selected to be part of an annual Juried Show in the International Asian Artists of Sumi-e with exhibitions in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, Japan, Taiwan and the United States.
Recently, Papp’s work was juried in with the Mobile Art Associations at the “Shared Expressions” exhibit held this past summer at the Mobile Museum of Fine Arts, Langan Park, in Mobile.  This particular work is featured for one year in the Mobile mayor’s office.

Papp resides in Fairhope with her husband and is excited about being part of the Fairhope First Friday Art Walk.  “We really feel at home here with so many things to do, so now I feel like a tourist in Argentina.”

The event will begin at 6:00pm and end at 8:00pm at the USABC Administration Building, 10 North Summit Street, Fairhope, AL.  The Jag Tran will be running from the USABC Administration building to the Eastern Shore Art Center for patrons on that Friday evening.
