    Marjon de Jong is a versatile and respected artist at home and abroad.

She had a major exhibition at Art Miami.

    By invitation, she also held workshops and lectures in Spain, Switzerland, the United States, and Japan. Currently, preparations are being made for a documentary about the life and work of De Jong.

    Sumi-e is a traditional oriental art form of (mainly) black ink painting on rice paper. Marjon started to paint in 1985. For a couple of years, she took lessons with Eiko Kondo, who quickly noticed that Marjon had a natural talent, particularly in the zen style, i.e. the art of omitting. She is said to have an exact sense of and a perfect balance in composition. These qualities must be innate, they cannot be learned.
