My photo
I am an artist who has lived in Los Angeles, New York City and, now, northern California. My initial interest in art was provoked by the Asian collection at the Seattle Art Museum when I was in high school, and it has continued to this day. I am not a collector, merely an admirer who has picked up the odd scroll, print or seal. Seals especially have engaged a deep involvement and I welcome this opportunity to share. For my own primarily sculptural works please visit my website lorenmadsen.com.

A dragon climbing a stone column

 
Studio name: Lang Xian
Impression: duo en, Abundant grace

A full third of the bulk of this stone had to be removed by the carver to reveal the dragon. I have no idea as to date or the actual identity of the carver, but the seal shows signs of much use.
