"My paintings are an expression of my feelings, my experience, my chi/energy, and some magic."

Teller (born Delene Ross) is an internationally known artist with a Master's Degree in Studio Arts, who is famous for her Asian brush painting known as Sumi-e and calligraphy.

Artist Bio (articles)
Her name has become known around the world for her masterful use of the Sumi-E brush painting technique. She is the only non-Asian artist honored in "An Album of Selected Paintings by the 20th Century Outstanding Chinese Artists."

Teller was invited to compete in the 1992 international competition for China's Ministry of Culture. She took home third place out of 6,000 Sumi-E brush painters.

She fell in love with the art form while attending a Sumi-E workshop in Duluth in 1986. The two instructors who came from Hangzhou, China immediately recognized Teller's talent and invited her to study in China.

Teller has traveled back and forth to China several times and has trained under one of the world's most famous horse painters-Master Artist Lok Tok.

She studied with him for over 20 years. One of Lok Tok's teachers is China's most famous horse painter - Xu Beihong.
