This has helped to win worldwide recognition for the embroidery Art of her country and established her as one of the world’s foremost Suzhou silk embroidery craftsmen still working to produce these traditional masterpieces.

No one who has ever seen the Chinese silk embroidery art of Chen Caiping will be unmoved by her exquisite Suzhou (Su) silk embroidery, both for its color and vivid lifelike effect. Chen’s embroidery features the finest craftsmanship and materials combined lovingly to produce an exquisite and deeply moving experience.

Works numbered A11 though A15 below are examples of the art of Su embroidery at its best. Their closely woven divided silk filaments give a colorful, lifelike experience indistinguishable from a fine painting unless examined very closely to determine the thread. The sheer amount of painstaking skilled work and time incorporated in these embroideries accounts for the relatively premium price.
