Kaori’s journey from her home country, Japan, to Australia has been one of personal growth and discovery. After initially working as a medical professional and then becoming a parent, she recently rekindled her childhood passion for painting. Despite having no formal art education, Kaori embraced traditional Japanese Sumi-e before exploring the expressive possibilities of oil and mixed media.
Her work reflects her deep connection to her heritage, self-discovery and embodying the belief that it’s never too late to pursue new paths. Through her art, she aims to inspire others to tune into their intuition and remain open to change, while embracing their vulnerability.
