                         TRIBUTE TO PUI CHU YEE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. WM. LACY CLAY

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 19, 2008

  Mr. CLAY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Jinba Pui Chu 
Yee, the world's youngest world-class artist and English language 
calligrapher. When she was 12 years old, International Arts Publishing 
published and distributed around the world a collection of her works 
entitled Pui Chu Yee Sculptured Landscapes and Calligraphy--The World's 
Youngest World-Class Artist and Calligrapher.
  Although Jinba Pui Chu Yee is still in high school, her highly 
creative powers in the field of art are incredible. The main theme of 
her hand-molded landscapes is natural scenery. Her captivating 
craftsmanship, which comes from nature yet transcends nature, takes the 
viewer into a world of fantasy.
  The New York Academy of Art evaluated her in 2004; the Academy issued 
a certificate signed by its Executive Director, Mr. Stephen Farthing. 
That certificate contained the following evaluation: ``It has been a 
great pleasure for both me as Executive Director, and my Faculty at the 
New York Academy of Art, to get to know the artwork of such an 
internationally acclaimed artist as Ms. Pui Chu Yee. Her unique 
approach transports the viewer beyond taste and fantasy to a point 
where enchantment and contemporary art meet. Her work is a great 
achievement.''
  Pui Chu Yee is also an English language calligrapher. Jinba Pui Chu 
Yee was invited to create signatures in calligraphic style at an 
assembly. Attendees of that assembly included experts and scholars from 
Taiwan, Tibet, Thailand, North America, and South America. Also in 
attendance were outstanding alumni, doctorate holders, and university 
professors, all of whom graduated from prestigious U.S. universities. 
At the assembly, Jinba Pui Chu Yee wielded her pen to the astonishment 
of all. Everyone expressed admiration.
  Through her talent and hard work, Jinba Pui Chu Yee has opened a new 
chapter in the appreciation of art in this world. Under the personal 
guidance of Jinba Pui Chu Yee, a high-tech art studio is now producing 
three-dimensional artistic images never before seen in this world that 
are created from some of her sculptured landscapes.
  Additionally, Jinba Pui Chu Yee has received numerous honors and 
commendations from various governmental bodies, community 
organizations, and entities representing all walks of life.
  Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize Ms. Jinba Pui Chu Yee, a 
extremely talented and creative young lady who has excellent moral 
character, deeply loves the United States, cares about the public good, 
and takes pleasure in developing the talents of others. In her honor I 
ask my congressional colleagues to join me in honoring her 
accomplishments as a premier artist around the world.
