	Paintings by Chen Yu I met Chen Yu earlier this year in her studio in Beijing. She uses a mixed media of acrylic and lacquer to create nature in its first stages, a flower blooming, the birth of a child, a bird discovering its wings. Her paintings create joy and happiness. Chen was recently featured in China’s Vogue and Better Homes & Gardens . We currently have two of her works at Dragonfly.
	Chinese Provincial Furniture. Focusing on provincial furniture of the late Qing Dynasty (early 1800 – early 1900), Chinese Provincial Antiques by Kimberly R. Hessler provides a detailed comparison between styles of furniture that often served multiple purposes. Organized into eight provinces and their particular fashions, photographic illustrations and accompanying text detail the construction and artistic differences between furniture with functional similarities.
