                        Wednesday, July 23, 2008

  Ms. CORRINE BROWN of Florida. Madam Speaker, I would like to pay 
tribute to Dr. Yuhua Wang, who has been recognized as a great artist 
and sculptor.
  Dr. Wang was born in Sichuan, China, and permanently resides in the 
United States. Since 2000, she has worked as a visiting professor of 
oriental arts in the College of Liberal Arts at Auburn University, 
where she has received several commendation certificates for excellent 
work performance.
  In August 2008, Dr. Wang's book entitled World's Highest-Level Color 
Paintings and Ink-Wash Paintings will be published and distributed 
worldwide by International Arts Publishing. Dr. Wang has meticulously 
and delicately applied fine-brushwork and oil colors on hand-sculpted 
coral and cobblestones which have become treasures of the world.
  In the history of Chinese art, her lotus flower paintings are 
unsurpassed and are extremely valuable. In addition to being proficient 
in Chinese paintings, she is a highly talented sculptor whose themes 
are nature's mountains, rocks and plants. Dr. Wang's skills in the 
creation of colors, paintings and sculptures have reached the acme of 
perfection in their exquisiteness, elegance and beauty.
  Dr. Wang, who takes great pleasure in helping others, is a selfless 
person whose moral character is noble, which is evidenced by the 
numerous awards and honors she has received. She has made great 
contributions to the development of cultural exchange between the East 
and West. Through her practice of Buddhism, Professor Wang benefits 
humanity and all living beings.
  Madam Speaker, I invite my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to 
Dr. Yuhua Wang, an outstanding artist and scholar, who has chosen to 
make her home here in the United States because she has heartfelt love 
for its people.
