明けましておめでとうございます (Happy New Year)!

We were treated to some amazing views of Fuji san when leaving for Holland

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! We had an amazing trip to Holland to celebrate Christmas with family and friends, something we haven't been able to do for at lease 8 years so it was extra special to be able to spend time with loved ones over the holidays! 

I had an awesome evening with my parents in Amsterdam, we went on this awesome night time boat tour through the canals to see the art installations for the Amsterdam Light Festival. There was some pretty cool stuff, Moving images projected on netting, strips of light that showed the sound pollution under water, a map of the canals floating in mid air and a tunnel of lights that made it feel like you were entering a time portal. The art installations were really awesome and all the holiday lights made is look extra magical. 

Now that we've arrived in 2018 I am pumped to get back to the studio! I prepared 5 pieces before the holiday break so I am very eager to finish those, there will be some Japanese influences in these new pieces, I cannot wait to share them with you!

Happy Holidays!

With 2 solo exhibitions, another amazing experience at the Artist Project in Toronto, our move to Japan and my first group exhibition here, 2017 has been a year filled with art and adventure!

Moving to Japan has been an amazing experience so far, I am continuously inspired by all the beauty around me! I have had a chance to try my hand at various Japanese painting techniques and materials and experience many aspects of traditional Japanese culture. Learning the language has been challenging and a little frustrating at times but also very rewarding when you finally manage to ask for something in a store :)

It has taken me some time to get my new studio in working order and I am still finding the balance between studying for my Japanese classes, exploring and creating but I have 5 new pieces in the works right now so new things are coming soon so keep an eye on my website and social media pages (Facebook, Instagram).

For those of you interested I still have some pieces available for sale on my website and Saachi Art and I do take commissions on occasion. If you're in Toronto or Montréal, I am working with two wonderful galleries who would be happy to assist you in finding your perfect piece. 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.

I would like to wish you all a wonderful holiday season and an art filled and creative 2018! 

良いお年を! (Happy New Year!)
