OharuArt

/biography

Born in Japan, 1973

​​

Harumi is a Japanese painter. 

Growing up, Harumi spent as much time in nature as possible. This allowed her creative spirit to flourish, and cultivated her passion for bird watching. It is nature, and the related concept of the interconnectedness of life, that continues to deeply inform her as an artist.

Following a hugely successful 20-year career in pharmaceuticals in Japan, Harumi fell in love with Hawaii. She decided to enrol at the University of Hawaii, where she honed her artistic skills. Thereafter, she was inspired to create OharuArt as the next chapter in her artistic career. Harumi now lives and works in Hawaii, where there is a whole new world of natural beauty for her to explore, with her dear husband and two beloved parakeets by her side.
