About the artist:
Yoshie Mizuno grew up in Japan and in 1989 settled with her husband in Darwin, where they remained for 14 years, before recently moving to Cairns.
In 1993 Mizuno began a visual arts course at Darwin’s Charles Darwin University and in 2004 completed a Master of Fine Arts at the same university.
About the work:
The Australian landscape has made a huge impact on Yoshie Mizuno. She has been particularly drawn to the uniqueness of northern Australia.
Although she previously rejected Zen Buddhism as a painful imposition on her childhood, the artist now finds herself increasingly drawn towards Japanese aesthetics such as simplicity and modest beauty, which have their basis in Zen Buddhism.
