Chi Tarn - Chinese Calligraphy
Hand-brushed Chinese Characters
Chi Tarn brings to life the beautiful tradition of Chinese hand-brushed calligraphy.
Each single character is an original piece of art created with traditional tools on high quality, acid-free art paper, then stamped with the artist's signature block.

Each order comes with a pronunciation guide, showing the Chinese character, the pinyin form and translation.

Ready for framing, each 4" x 6" original will bring charm and, perhaps, good fortune to your home or office. Use for good Fung Shui or for elegant decoration.
Choose from the list of commonly requested characters below or request one of your own.
Note: Chi does not pre-print her characters ahead of time. She creates each original only when it is ordered.

Each order comes with a pronunciation guide, showing the Chinese character(s), the pinyin form and translation. [Click here to see sample]

Ready for framing, each 4" x 6" original is truly a conversation piece you'll want to show everyone!
