Welcome and discover the experience that is Harriet Bechtel Art. Bechtel chooses the ancient Chinese technique of batik and pairs it with the expressive and calligraphic qualities of brush and ink creating a dynamic relationship. As with the 14th century painters of the Yuan Dynasty, bamboo is a favorite subject matter of hers as well as Plum Blossoms and other naturalistic scenes. Even though Bechtel's process utilizes techniques that are centuries old, her artwork has a modern feel and appeals to today's discerning collector.
