Motoko studied art for four years through workshops, mentorship, and independent learning. In 1998, she began creating and selling her art professionally. Achieving early success, she sold her representational artwork through commercial art galleries in both Vancouver and the Greater Vancouver area as well as nationally and internationally. Soon, originals and reproductions of her works were in demand.

However, her need to personally meet and interact with customers and art-lovers, led to the opening of her own gallery in 2005. At that time she also moved from representational to abstract painting, something she had always wanted to do.

Ultimately, Motoko’s goal is to create art that evokes emotions and feelings and generates positive energy and harmony within viewers. She wants to create pieces that people wish to have in their daily lives and which brings them joy and happiness.

“Originally from Japan, I am strongly influenced by my Japanese cultural background, as well as the natural beauty of British Columbia’s west coast where I now live. The Japanese concepts of “jounetsu”, “yasuragi”, “iyashi” and “kokoro” are fundamental to my whole being. Through my passion for art, I try to blend these concepts together to evoke a sense of peacefulness, tranquility and healing that touches the mind and soul of the viewer.” — Motoko
