Susan Wickstrand Japan Art Tour 2014

Please come join me in Japan for the following Dates & Locations.

I'm so excited to be returning to the Land of the Rising Surf ART mecca for the 2014, 10th Anniversary of the Greenroom Festival.  All Greenroom Galleries & The Greenroom Festival hold a close place in my Heart.  After the Festivals and 2 show with Greenroom Gallery in Kamakura and Shibuya, I will be wrapping up my Japan visit with a Special Signing Event at a favorite location, WTW, Aoyama store on Thurs. May 29th.

I've fallen in Love with Japan.  I studied it's arts and culture with keen interest while a college student always dreaming on one day visiting this magical place.  This year will be my 3rd visit, and we look forward to it every year.  The beauty of the landscape, the amazing food, Art and culture have exceeded my expectations BUT it is the people that I've also fallen in love with.  I have so much respect and admiration for the Japanese culture and people.  The 1st year I left for home I told my family that I, "Had found 'my' people" I felt at home right away from the 1st trip.

So if you're reading this and you've never gone to Japan, I highly suggest it! If you're reading this and you're from Japan, we may be friends, we may have met at one of the past events I've been to there, or we may have yet to meet.  I embrace it all and look forward to more adventures there!

Blue Magazine "Art For Surfers" Issue

I was happy when asked to contribute some of my artworks for a special, "Art For Surfers" edition of Blue Magazine in Japan.  It is a leading surf magazine in Japan.

I had the pleasure of attending for the 1st the time the Greenroom Festival in Yokohama, Japan this May, 2012 with my photographer husband, Kevin Roche.  I got to meet so many wonderful new friends/fans and to share my unique oil & encaustic (wax) collages with so many people.  I also had a chance to debut my new limited edition hand glassed/resined collages on wood panel.  These images were very popular at the Greenroom Festival.

We had such a wonderful time visiting Japan, and fell in love with the country, the culture, the fashion, food, towns like Kamakura, and most of all it's people.  We also had the pleasure of getting to know talented fellow artists, shapers and illustrators better too.  I had my artwork also in the debut edition of Honey Magazine and got to attend the launch party at Ron Herman, Tokyo, Japan. The dividends from our Japan visit keep coming, and we hope to return one day soon.

Here's a few shots from this newest issue of, "Blue Magazine", "Art For Surfers" issue, Japan.  Arigato Blue Mag!

Japan was Amazing!

Here's some photo highlights from our recent trip to Japan for Greenroom Festival 2012.  We fell in love with the country & it's people and hope to return one day soon!

Wall of Susan Wickstrand Art at Greenroom Festival. Glad we had backup suitcases of Artwork to replace pieces as they were selling. We were very busy & I was so grateful to have the lovely, Mariko Atsumi & friend to help translate and explain some of the narrative going on in my work.

Sharing shakas with fellow artist Heather Brown & Susan Wickstrand

Signing the back of Artworks & taking photos with the new clients is very popular in Japan!

Kevin and I at the Ron Herman, Tokyo launch party for "Honey Magazine" debut. It's a sister magazine to "Blue" and I was fortunate enough to have an article in it on my artworks.

Our visit to Kita Temple in Kamakura was amazing! Here's a shot I grabbed of a monk descending a staircase in front of temple gates.

Gorgeous entry temple into the Engakuji, Temple, The Sanmon Gate, Kamakura. This gate is gigantic and no nails were used in it's construction.  Simply amazing to behold in person.  Our Kamakura visit was a highlight of our trip to Japan.  I hope to go to Kyoto also next time as I love Temple and the history of it all.

 

 Kevin and I in front of The Great Buddha of Kamakura (Kamakura Daibutsu). It is a bronze statue that was cast in 1252.  You can also go INSIDE the cast Buddha, something worth doing!

Our final night in Japan spent with Greenroom & Heather Brown Japan Gallery Owner, Jun Yoshimura (far right corner) and Yohei Otani (far upper left), Greenroom Gallery, HI and friends.

Artworks loaded in & installed on Friday, got Artist pass and ready for Greenroom Festival to begin on Saturday & Sunday.  Thank you to all who came out to meet me, thank you for the gifts, smiles, photos, art sales, and wonderful time in Japan.  It's been a trip of a lifetime.
