Dedham Artist Guild Announces August's Artist of the Month

The Dedham Square Artist Guild is pleased to announce Tsun Ming Chmielinski as their “Artist of the Month” for August. Chmielinski’s sumi-e brush paintings will be on display through the end of the month.

An artist reception for Chmielinski will be held on Thursday, August 13, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Her show, Mystical Places, features landscape paintings done in traditional Chinese sumi-e. Those in attendance can witness the show.

The Dedham Artist Guild is located on 553 High Street in Dedham Square.

“I am always attracted to simple and powerful landscapes whether in my own backyard or faraway places. This inspires me to create my “Mystical Places” landscape paintings. I paint in sumi-e, pastel and acrylic,” Chimielinski said. “My painting is a true expression of my cross cultural background. Born in China and raised by Buddhist parents; I learned painting from a Zen Master. My education and experience in Hong Kong and the United States have provided for me a balance of East and West.”

The Dedham Artist Guild was founded in 2011. It’s the town’s first artist cooperative, owned and operated by its members.
