Miyabi Katayama

1965 Born in Hyogo, JAPAN.
When childhood, played in the near by rich woods and back mountains. From the childhood she liked painting. In junior school and high school, drew oil paintings.

I am painting landscape paintings or still life paintings. But they are painted by my imagination . I would like to express some signs of them. For example.
When I pass the road, I found out the small flower by the road momentary.
Most of people are missing them.
But I don't remember what kind of the flower is it clearly.
And I can't remember of the shape and color of the flowers correctly. I only remember the small signs of the flowers. Beautiful, good smell and vivid yellow...
I express the important impression of them.
I think that reminding us of this small signs are very important for human being.
Actually, they are always healing us.
