“Daily Sustaining” by Quang Ho

It’s as if you are there, kneeling beside this woman watching her work her magic. Can’t you smell the wonderful food being cooked? Quang Ho captured this in such a fabulous way. Not overworked, with just enough detail to leave the rest to your imagination. A well accomplished artist without a doubt! And versatile, whoa!

Quang illuststrated one of the coolest children’s books I think i’ve ever seen. ANSEL AND THE GREAT TREE is one children’s book that I would love to have in my library. The illustrations are OUT OF THIS WORLD. To me, that’s what makes a children’s book. (Well, the writing has to be there, without a doubt, it has to be a good story)… without those wonderful images a children’s book wouldn’t be a children’s book now would it? I can still remember some of the images in books I’ve read growing up. MAGICAL. The book’s website has a link to purchase a limited edition print of certain images and they are nothing short of amazing, click HERE. Here is one example… Oh! I love it! How would one of these look in a child’s bedroom??!!

Artist’s Biography

Quang Ho was born in Hue, Vietnam. He immigrated to the United States in 1975 and is now a U.S. Citizen. His artistic interest began at the early age of three and continued through his schooling and led him to an exciting and successful painting career.
In 1980, at age 16, Quang held his first one-man show at Tomorrow’s Masters Gallery in Denver, Colorado. The exhibit was a smashing success. In 1982, Quang attended the Colorado Institute of Art on a National Scholastics Art Awards Scholarship. Ho graduated from the CIA in 1985 with the Best Portfolio Award for his graduating class.
In 1982, Quang’s mother was killed in a tragic auto accident, leaving him with the responsibility of raising four younger brothers and a six-year-old sister. After graduating from art school, Ho launched a very successful career as a freelance illustrator from 1985 through 1991. His clients included Adolph Coors Company, Upjohn, Safeway, the Colorado Symphony, and the Chicago Symphony.
Today, working mostly in oils and occasionally watercolor and pastels, Ho’s subject matter ranges from still life, landscapes, interiors, and figurative.
“Subject matter is not really important to me. I can find visual excitement all around me as well as on the canvas – from a knot on a tree to the graceful limp of a flower wilting to a juxtaposition of a few simple shapes and colors…inspirations are inexhaustible.” Quang currently resides in Colorado.

This is one amazing artist. You can feel emotion in his paintings. They are out of this world! Great work Quang!
