euphorianchic's Profile

Bio

I am a Japanese emerging artist who was born and grew up in Japan and currently lives in the United States. I consider myself as self-taught artist at most parts, because I feel that after leaving art college, I pursued my own way of expressing myself first in fine art forms by experimenting many styles. Though now I am also exploring digital art, I love creating something using my hands, so I would like to share my original artworks, mainly paintings and craft here on Etsy. My basic concept of my art making is probably the mixture of old and new, East and West. I love mixing traditional realistic shapes with abstract shapes in one artwork. As spirituality also takes a important role in my life, you might find that many of my works are reflecting my personal lessons and are spiritually inspired as well.

Below is my brief resume:) (I omitted group shows here.)
