Artwork Description

The second artwork in a four piece collection about the beauty of different cultures. SOAR. Orenji is the Japanese translation for the colour Orange. This colour can be considered Japans national colour, usually associated with orange Nishikigoi (koi fish or Japanese carp). I wanted to show the beauty of a traditional Japanese performing artist known as a Geisha. Her hair is styled in a traditional style called, Nihongami, and she wears a hikizuri also known as susohiki or kimono.

Artist Bio

Ever since I was a little girl drawing has been a way for me to communicate. First starting out with stick figures to now creating hyper realistic portraits. Over the course of my schooling I have dabbled in a vast array of mediums, leading me to favor graphite/charcoal and water colour. My art consists of showing the natural beauty of my subject, keeping my meaning short and simple.

Less is more.
