YUKAKO

The jazz-like energy and lyrical color of Yukako’s current paintings reflect intense concentration and rigor internalized by years of practicing Japanese calligraphy both in Japan and abroad.

Yukako can truly be called a citizen of the world. Born in Hirosaki City, Japan, she has traveled and worked in Amsterdam, Singapore, San Francisco and many part of Japan. In her work Yukako tries to express her experiences of having one foot in the East and one in the West.  Her artworks have been presented at the United Nations, The Salmagundi Club, German House at United Nation Plaza, the Manhattan Borough President Office, Chase Bank, Knox Gallery, Ceres Gallery, Affordable Art Fair, Broadway Mall, Grace Institute, The Art Students League of New York, Helene Fuld College of Nursing, St. Francis College in Brooklyn, The Paris American Academy in Paris, Ueno Museum in Tokyo and others.

Her paintings and drawings are in the collections of The Art Students League of New York Permanent Collection, Grace Institute and many private collections in US, Europe and Japan.

A member of The Art Students League of New York, Japanese Artists Association of New York, Yukako now resides in NYC.
