Hello, my name is Kay

and I am a watercolor and ink artist working in Japan.
 I use personal symbology to explore themes of vulnerability and strength, as well as the longing to be understood that is deeply embedded in the human experience. Bones, flowers and animals  find their way into my work, helping me to weave a narrative around our journeys to become our very best selves.

Color and light play an important role in my work, and there is nothing I love more than building slow washes and glazes with watercolor. My values are rooted in ideas around courage and compassion, and in the importance of a heart well and truly burnished. I like the color in my work to glow, as I think that we do, when we are operating kindly and with radical tenderness.

こんにちは、Kayと申します。

水彩画家、日本の猫愛好家です。私は人間の経験の中に深く埋め込まれている理解されたいという願望と同様に、脆弱性と強さというテーマを探求するために、個人的なシンボロジーを使っています。

骨、花、動物、鳥などが私の作品の中に登場し、私たちが最高の自分になるための旅の物語を紡ぐのを助けてくれています
