Gallery Reception: Suiko Ohta

The Frederick Harris Gallery presents an evening featuring Japanese artist Suiko Ohta, highlighted by complimentary wine and canapés.

Ohta's exhibit brings to life the traditions of Japanese painting, employing natural paints to create stunning landscapes and captivating figures.

Inspired by her family of artists and educational experiences in both Switzerland and the United States, Ohta skillfully captures the spirit of nature in her works.

With a career spanning over three decades, including teaching painting at the Club, Ohta’s work captivates audiences from around the world.

Moment I realized I wanted to become an artist.
When I shared Japanese-style painting while studying abroad and got an unexpectedly positive response.

What I would tell my 20-year-old self.
Look for more than just the right answer. Be relaxed and open-minded, broaden your thinking and do not worry about what others think of you.

My perfect creative environment.
An environment where I can maintain a close relationship with my students.

Artist, living or dead, I’d most like to share a meal with.
[Japanese painters] Ogata Korin, Uemura Shoen and Konoshima Okoku.
