Where did 2019 go? It just flew by! With a solo exhibition in Montréal, Canada and Gifu, Japan, a wonderful collaboration with a local theatre company, 6 group exhibitions and a 2 person showroom exhibition it has been a busy, busy year! I've also had a chance to go back to the Mino Washi museum for another paper making course and had the opportunity to explore some additional new Japanese crafts and techniques. I would like to thank everyone who came out to see my work and of course everyone who added my work to their art collections this year! Also a big Thank You to all the super supportive artists here in Nagoya and of course all my wonderful teachers who add tools to my toolbox with every class. You are all top quality humans! 

While 2019 in winding down things are in full swing in my studio in preparation for my return to the Artist Project next February 20-23 at the Better Living Center in Toronto. I last participated in this exhibition in 2017, before leaving for Japan and I am very excited for the opportunity to introduce my brand new, Japan inspired, body of work. 'World on Washi' to my collectors in Canada in person. If you have a chance to attend the show, I will be in booth #831!

For those of you who can't make it to the Better Living Center, I also have work available on my websiteSaachi Art and BBuzzArt and if you're looking for something custom I work on commission as well, just send me an email for additional information. If you're in Toronto or Motréal, I am working with two wonderful galleries who would be happy to assist you in finding the perfect piece for your collection. In Toronto you can visit Latitude 44 Gallery located on 2900 Dundas st. West in the Junction area and in Montréal you can find my work at Viva Vida Art Gallery located on 278 Lakeshore drive in Pointe Claire.

Thank you for all your support! I'm so grateful to have such amazing and loyal collectors and fans! I wish you all a wonderful holiday season and an art filled and creative 2020! 

良いお年を! (Happy New Year!)
