Yuki Azumi is a Japanese artist who came to US for college to major in Studio Art concentrating in Painting & Drawing right after graduating prestigious all girls’ protestant private Miyagi Gakuin high school in Sendai, Miyagi, Japan in 1995. 

Yuki studied under well-known great master print maker artist Dr. Art Werger at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia and mastered the art of drawing from him.  There, Yuki grasped the concept of careful observation is the foundation of any good drawing.

In spite of being a foreign national, Yuki was offered Art Merit Scholarship for her outstanding Art talent from West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon, WV.  She appreciated the recognition of her talent and accepted the invitation and was awarded with fine art merit scholarship for her talent until graduation with B.A in Studio Art: concentration in Painting & Drawing. 

Highlight of Yuki’s academic endeavor was two major academic adventures in Italy and Nepal.

Yuki studied at SACI (Studio Art Centers International) in Florence, Italy.  There, she met countless gifted fellow student artists of many different backgrounds, talent, and academic levels throughout the world.  Among many were from France, Spain, United States, Armenia, Russia, Korea, and more… Students were from Princeton University, Duke, Art institute of Chicago, Art institute of Maryland, Stanford, Yale, and more… Students of various concentrations in Art such as Art History, Industrial design, architecture, Studio Art (Oil Painter, Sculptor, lithographer, photographer, Fresco Painter, jewelry maker…) B.A, B.F.A., M.A, M.F.A., PhDs and postgraduate study…

Not only it was her enlightened moment in her study… but also getting positive influence by portrait painter Justin who uses only primary colors and white… and create a master piece portrait, architect Tae’s precise drawing showcasing importance in detailed and diligent nature of technology of art meet science in architecture, and many others… not to mention the full of inspiration from the city of Florence…

Yuki also conducted unique Tibetan Textile study independently for college full credits equivalent to a class.  Yuki’s reputation in academic achievement (making Dean’s list every semester) as well as her passion in her nature of love in producing fine art… (Yuki was known for hard working talented student)  The Art Department chairman Ms. Margo Davis at WVWC granted Yuki’s proposal of independent study.  Yuki conducted a research on Tibetan carpet designs and historical background.  After gaining basic knowledge on Tibetan carpet, Yuki made a trip to Kathmandu, Nepal where many Tibetan reside today after the historical invasion by Chinese government in 1950s.  Yuki stayed in one of monastery with Rinpoche of Tibetan Buddhism and his family.  After observing production of carpet by hand by Tibetan ladies… Yuki has clearly noticed the two distinctive version of Tibetan carpet… one being very traditional and the one being much lighter shade and muted tones… Yuki conducted interviews with carpet businessman to discuss about the traditional design versus current design… Yuki is curious…  When she wonders she tries to search for a definitive answer.  There was a clear influence of current world market demand equation that was threatening the traditional designs and colors.  Market demands and the reality of very difficult hard life of third world was instead of preserving the tradition and its original beauty, the color was replaced by pastel toned down “pretty colors” that was nothing to do with Tibetan tradition. 

Yuki is a mother of two little boys.  Yuki resides in Plainsboro due to her husband working in the area.  After marrying to her husband, she was not allowed to conduct an activity to earn income due to visa status.  But now Yuki and her husband were granted permanent residency status from INS earlier the year 2007.  Yuki had been conducting research on how to set herself as a business with her art skill set ever since she was granted permanent residency.  Many Thanks to countless kind people and their assistance and encouragement through out the world community, Yuki officially registered her new business on August 20th 2007 through state of New Jersey.  And now… Yuki is available…

My name means rejoice of liberty in Japanese…  My grand father named me to have a double meaning.  He was very poetic person.  “Yuki” sounds the same with snow in Japanese.  I was born in winter.  My grandfather chose Chinese character that represents the meaning of rejoice of liberty for my name.  I firmly believe spreading rejoice of Fine Art in the country where liberty is the fundamental reason to be established is my vocation… It is my mission.

I am looking forward to serving you soon!

Sincerely,

Yuki Azumi
