Artist Haruyo Morita
Artist : Haruyo Morita
Haruyo Morita was born in Kita-Katsushika County, Saitama Prefecture in 1945.
From an early age her artistic talents were evident, and she came
under the tutelage of Master Husuki. He introduced her to the classic narratives
and pictorial compositions that have made Japanese images so popular both
in Japan and in the West. Whilst still in school, her work was accepted for
the regional art competition, and she won prizes at the Prefecture Art Exhibition
and the Dai-cho ten Exhibition. After serving the mandatory apprenticeships,
Haruyo worked as a kimono painter and designer until 1972,
at which point she turned to her current medium. Her work can
best be described as a contemporary representation of
the traditional Ukiyo-e style. Relocating to London in 1977,
she has held exhibitions of her work in London, Honolulu,
Los Angeles, New York, Saudi Arabia, Tokyo, and Yokoyama. |
