Artist at the bench pruning a bonsai in the workshop

Practice

Drunken Bonsai is a studio devoted to bonsai as slow art — where wire and scissors defer to seasons, and where the goal is not novelty but resonance: a tree that feels as though it has always belonged in its pot and in the room where you live with it.

Philosophy

The work sits between horticulture and sculpture. Each composition is edited until the line reads clearly from ten paces and rewards the closer look — bark, bud, negative space. Patience is not a slogan here; it is the medium.

Background

Years of study with regional collections and private workshops inform the studio approach — borrowing from traditional form while allowing individual trees to assert their own history. Replace this paragraph with your own biography when you ship the site.
