About Yuri Ozaki

Yuri Ozaki grew up in a small town in Mie Prefecture on the Kii Peninsula of Japan. The area is known for its unique wet climate and mystical history. This area also features UNESCO World Heritage registered sacred sites and pilgrimage routes. The beauty and mystery of her home region has been a strong influence on Ozaki’s work. Her favorite subjects have been woodland scenes in the Tennessee Valley as well as her coastal hometown in Japan. Most recently, she has been experimenting with her own imaginary world based on scenes of decay and renewal in nature. She feels connected to her subjects through the texture of watercolor on paper. She is a signature member of the Watercolor Society of Alabama, Mississippi Watercolor Society, Montana Watercolor Society and North East Watercolor Society.

Monte Sano Art Festival and new frozen puddle series

Monte Sano Art Festival

Monte Sano Art Festival is on Saturday September 9:00am-5:00pm. It is coming up in less than 2 weeks! It has been my favorite festival for the past several years. It is in a beautiful park, and I have met so many supporters of art like you at the event. I hope I will meet more! And of course, it is great to see familiar faces. I will have recent rose paintings from the Wheedon House besides nature and downtown scenes, as well as my leaf studies in the “Frozen Puddle” series.
