Kana'sArts Blog

coming soon

I am in the middle of updating my website and my online store, so to kick it off I decided to start my blog up again after 10 years. I will try to update here to let those who do not follow me on Instagram know what I am up to and where I will be going to next. I look forward to hearing from you and hope you having a happy Fall!

Updated Website . . . Finally

past, present, future

After long delays and promises, the images on my web site have been updated for the paintings I have done in the past 6 months. You can find all newer paintings under the "new" sub-heading & all of the paintings in the store go from newer to older. I have also just finished by last show for about 2 months and look forward to working in the studio. I am excited because i just started working with traditional Japanese dried pigments, and I can't wait to see how they turn out. Please come visit my updated web site.

Summer D(el)ays

A big apology to everyone out there who has ordered prints from me this summer.  When I am in the middle of a festival or traveling between shows, I am often not able to ship orders unless I happen to have the requested original, print, and/or card with me. If you happen to order something while I am on the road, I will ship it as soon as I return.  If you order an express shipment while I am out, I will refund the difference in shipping costs when I send your package upon returning. I am presently on my way from Chicago to Pittsburgh at the end of a long trek. I will have been away from my studio for over six weeks with only one brief visit home. If this has or will delay an order, please accept my most sincere apologies.

New paintings!

I've just updated my web site and have a new section for NEW paintings!  + the web store has been updated, so I hope it is a little easier to understand.  I also added some new home pages--if you click on the Home button you can see  adifferent page load.  Hope you enjoy the new site and let me know what you think.
