Two solo exhibitions in Japan
Tokyo and Kyoto
introducing my work to japan in Tokyo and Kyoto
This summer, I had two solo exhibitions with Ocean Day Gallery in Japan—first in Tokyo, then in Kyoto—marking the beginning of a deepening relationship with Ocean Day Gallery and their audience.
Each exhibition showcased my paintings as studies in light and motion, as shimmering surfaces where water becomes a mirror and a threshold. The gallery chose the work for their delicate tonal transitions, their quiet luminosity, their ability to feel both ethereal and present. Ocean Day frames them as ethereal works and breathtaking water studies, inviting viewers into a space of stillness and reflection.
In Tokyo, a collection of originals and prints were presented side by side—an exploration of how the same image shifts between editions and one-of-a-kind canvases.
In Kyoto, I continue the conversation in a more intimate setting, leaning in to how light transforms with proximity.
These exhibitions feel deeply meaningful—not just as my first presentations in Japan, but as an opening of a visual dialogue in a context that so naturally understands light, nuance, and the poetry of surface.
I’m grateful to Ocean Day’s team for their trust and artistry in presenting this work, and to everyone who visited, lingered, and allowed these paintings to live in their gaze.
