Rocky Mountain Bonsai Society member Stefan Rausch authored 16 articles on Bonsai Styles/Designs that were hosted on an online magazine. The magazine quit working in 2019 and I have spent a considerable amount of time reconstructing these articles and will now host all of them on this website for visitors to use and learn from. Each style photo below will take you to a particular page as shown on the photo if you click on the photo. All of the photos in the articles were drawn by Stefan, as you can see he is a multi-talented artist, literally. Stefan credits International Bonsai Masters Larry Jackel and Harold Sasaki as his leading instructors here in the United States.
