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, trends, and noise. It is the solace found in a surreal enveloping of plants and flowers, traditional Japanese pattern, vibrant color, and unexpected courage. I hope both my paintings and large-scale murals impart a sense of serenity and a renewed appreciation for quiet beauty and silent strength. Artist's Bio JUURI is a Tokyo-born muralist currently working from Oklahoma City. Her vibrant, figure-driven work fuses traditional Japanese and modern pop motifs.
