ABOUT THE PIECE:
I created “Maiko in Indigo” using handmade watercolor paints. My process begins with lightly mapping out the subject on the paper with a pencil. Then, I apply paint starting with the most faint colors and work my way to the darkest and brightest areas. This allows for the magical properties of watercolor to show through in my work.
 
Through this series I investigated the appearance and life of Kyoto’s maiko. I painted her facing away from the viewer in order to capture the beauty of her hair, obi, and kimono while maintaining a sense of mystery and intrigue.
