YukoJapaneseCutArt's Profile

Bio

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for visiting my shop.

I am born in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan, I spent many years studying traditional Japanese art forms such as paper folding (Origami), "cut art" (Kiri-e), and the Sogetsu style of flower arrangement (Ikebana).
In 2003, I arrived in Montreal, and continued to develop my original style in producing artwork suitable for framing, and in creating unique greeting cards featuring Japanese elements such as traditional dolls, folded fans, and so on.
I am currently focused upon creation of own paper cutting designs that extend traditional cut-art technique by including multiple layers of patterned or textured Japanese paper (washi).

If you want to know about me, please visit " yuko-cutart.com" you will find more!
