bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - A Spring Afternoon with Marco Invernizzi

I had the pleasure of hearing Marco speak acouple days ago, it was a great experience. He's a very engaging and interesting speaker, even when he was dictating the 30 rules for wiring that he had thought up earlier in the week. My girlfriend, not particularly into bonsai told me, "If I don't marry you I'm marrying an Italian." She whispered this to me about 5 times during the demo.

I wonder how much close he packs though, everywhere he goes he's always wearing bonsai shop apparel given to him. When I saw him thursday he was wearing a Nature's Way Hoodie and I think he was wearing other bonsai merchandise earlier at MABS too, from the photos I saw.

Anyway, great article, Michelle, I always like reading about bonsai artists in addition to looking at their work. Their philosophies often resonate with me more than images of their trees.
