Meet the Artist!
A proud Asian-American, Kae has a deep interest in Japanese art. Inspired by the bold brushstrokes, high contrast, and simple elegance of sumi-e paintings, Kae’s artwork seeks to honor the beauty and tranquility of traditional ink paintings in her own style. She has developed hero own strategies for emulating the soft, fluid ink washes and deep, bold accents found in sumi-e art in digital art, combining centuries-old tradition with contemporary tools.
In addition to her love of her culture, Kae loves the beauty of the natural world. Much of her work reflects this, striving to capture the delicate petals of flower blossoms or the quiet power of wildlife. This extends to domestic animals as well, depicting the charm and personality of beloved pets. She draws inspiration from her beautiful island home and the endearing antics of her own fur baby, Emi.
Kae hopes that through bringing the beauty and tranquility of nature into the home, her artwork can inspire a moment of calm into the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Kae is a Hawaii-based painter and illustrator. From the time she was very young, art has been a major part of her life. As the child of an artist, she started drawing early, creating small doodles on post-it notes and displaying them on the wall of her living room. Over years of growth and countless hours of practice, she has worked to develop a distinct voice and artistic style.
