NAOSHI

Naoshi was born in Iwate, Japan, and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. She works with the medium of sand art known as “Sunae” in Japanese. Using brightly colored grains of sand and adhesive paper, she creates whimsical characters in candy-colored pop and fantasy worlds.

For Naoshi, Sunae is a visual tool to express unique worldviews. In addition to creating her own artworks, Naoshi makes Sunae kits, which are available to the public, and runs workshops in the hope of sharing the joy of using this expressive art form.

Her art is also available on several products ~ including home décor and stationery,  plus tees and totes, which are printed in downtown L.A. by Popkiller!
