About the Artist
North Vancouver based oil and acrylic painter Emiko Mizukami has been honing her skills as a still life painter for the past several years. Born and raised in Fukui, Japan, surrounded by the sea and mountains, Immigrating to Vancouver in 2010, Emiko is once again connected to mountains and the seaside, which remind her of her childhood. As a youth, Emiko's connection to the arts and crafts was enriched by her mother and grandmother’s daily contribution to their Japanese crafts. It instilled an appreciation for arts and crafts in Emiko’s young soul, learning the art of Japanese cuisine and the function of a kitchen and home. This form of art has led her to drawing and painting what surrounds us in the home and scenes and objects that have profound meanings to us.
