The Art of Misato Suzuki




Each time I come across images of the workS of Misato Suzuki here in Internet Land, I am re-inspired by them; I can't get enough of her unique vision, with it's striking color palate, abstract overtones and raw, - at times almost unfinished - execution.  "Whimsical" is a word I actively avoid using, but the term just might aptly apply to Ms. Suzuki's works.


And so... enjoy:  Misato Suzuki!
