Kathy Ike　（Australian）

Kathy started brush painting in Australia with a Chinese artist/teacher over 35 years ago.

She continued sumie practice in Kyoto for over 20 years.

Now she is working independently. Her focus is to give viewers a moment of quiet tranquility in her paintings. Just looking – for a moment – at one of her paintings offers a little break from the hectic demands of everyday life.

Kathy has exhibited in Kyoto since 2010, in both group and solo exhibitions,

including at:

The Kyoto Museum of Art Bekkan, (group)

The 1928 Building gallery ‘Collage’ (solo)

Her work has been acquired by various private buyers in Japan, Singapore, the United States and Australia.
