I am primarily a landscape painter. I like to draw and paint the natural environment, especially the fields and mountains where I live in rural Japan. My work is influenced by history, by photography and by my experience of migration and travel. The bulk of my studio practice is big, oily landscape paintings. I have three main studio projects:
Karasu/Yatagarasu (two and three-legged crows) a conceptual project exploring the experience of migration and outsider, Landscape Painting and Drawing and The Armchair Antiquarian. As well as these I also make small works on paper; pen and ink, watercolours and printmaking including 'hapazome' - Japanese leaf prints. These have been popular on Etsy.

Andrea you work is captivating and original. Beautiful!
Thank you Gallery! I'm happy to see my work here amongst so many active and energetic artists. There is so much great work available on Etsy.
Konnichi-wa Andrea! Beautiful work. Your project Karasu/Yatagarasu sounds very interesting. Hope you share some with us.
hapa-zome when applied to my cloth-dyeing technique doesn't use watercolour...
I coined the phrase some years ago while working in Japan but it's NOT an exclusively Japanese technique...
