Featured Artist: Yumi

The delightful artist Yumi began as a protege of Ukai Uchiyama, the master watercolorist of Japan. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from Keio University in Tokyo, and later studied at San Francisco's Academy of Fine Arts. Yumi has also lived and studied in the Netherlands (three years) and in Paris, France. She is the recipient of the prestigious "First Award" at the International Arts Exhibition in San Diego.

Yumi is a frequent exhibitor at Balboa Park's Spanish Village in San Diego, Ca. This is where our blog host John I. Henry initially met Yumi circa 2006. From one artist to another, he states:

"I find Yumi's paintings to be one of the finest examples of post-Impressionistic works I've encountered in my many years of experience within the art world."
