I am an origamist, so my medium is usually paper, but I recently took Drawing I with Professor Amanda Maciuba and was satisfied enough with these pieces to submit them to this gallery. Here, I have tried to use my appreciation for lighting to give each piece the aura I feel in my respective boundaries. Aside from being an artist, I make jewelry and am also a musician who plays the piano and violin. I love to paint a whole new world through music. I aspire to someday be like Felix Mendelssohn, who excelled at both the visual and performing arts. To view some more of my artworks, please visit: https://kaytsukamoto.wixsite.com/home.
