While traveling to several places in China and southeast Asia I embraced the nickname my dad gave me, Esther Pee Magoo, and had traditional Chinese name-stamps made, some in English and some in Cantonese and/or Mandarin. Upon returning to the States and acclimating back into western society I decided to use those stamps as a tool, along with the calligraphy brushes, rolls of rice paper and paints I picked up over seas to illustrate the memories and images that resurfaced from my adventures.
