Artist's Statement
In a world full of chaos, my art is a way for me to find "home." To me, "home" is a timeless place unaffected by current events. It is the solace found in traditional Japanese arts, flowers, pattern, historical legend, and unexpected courage. It is also a bold presentation of color and contemporary graphic elements to complement the above. I hope both my paintings and large-scale murals impart a sense of serenity and a renewed appreciation for worlds of wonder beyond our normal horizons. Artist's Bio JUURI is a Tokyo-born Japanese+American muralist currently working from Oklahoma City. Her colorful figure-driven work is inspired by traditional Japanese themes mixed with vibrant graphic elements. Her murals and art can be seen all over the US as well as overseas in Israel. Her clients include hospitality, urban initiatives, nonprofits, and private collectors. She also participates in mural festivals to share the beauty of Japanese culture worldwide. JUURI has select original works available to purchase. She also takes commissions for projects (murals or paintings) anywhere in the world.
