Mika Horie

Originally from Kyoto, Japan in 1984. Her interest for photography and Japanese paper-making 
began in BA in Information Design at Kyoto University of Art and Design. In 2008, she moved to 
the United Kingdom for her one-year study in MA European Arts Practice (Fine Art) at Kingston 
University London. Throughout her life in Europe, she developed her interest in exploring 
Japanese aesthetic point of views and sense of humor in our everyday life with various artworks 
beyond two-dimensional media. In 2013, she established her own studio space in a small mountain 
village in Yamanaka Onsen/ Kaga-city in Japan, and started to pursue the primitive passions for 
pleiotropic arts and design. Ms. Horie creates all her works on the basis of ultra-naturalism by 
local, organic and highest raw materials for paper-making, and capturing natureʼs design by camera.
