based near Portland, Oregon / forest life.

Kazue O Young loves to make Artworks with her whole Vision, Love and Energy. All Original ART by Hand Dyed.

“ I am a professional Artist from Japan, now based in Oregon. I has been working with Traditional Japanese Textile Techniques, KATAZOME, BINGATA, and SHIBORI since 2011. Historically, these techniques have been used to make KIMONOS. I instead use these techniques to make cloth fine art, inspired by Miracle Moments with nature. 
BINGATA and KATAZOME both start with making a hand-cut stencil. Placing the stencil on cloth, I make a resist using rice paste, and hand-paint each work using natural pigments or by traditional indigo dye processes. My SHIBORI work is a smaller part of my presentation. These are organic hemp sarongs dyed with indigo, their white patterns are a "hand sew and cut away" dye resist process.” - Kazue O Young

~ ART AS MEDICINE ~

“ IT IS SO SPECIAL FOR ME WHEN PEOPLE CONNECT WITH MY ART. MY IMAGES HAVE BEEN USED FOR MEMORY, HEALING, PRAYER, AND TO GIVE A FEELING OF PEACE. FOR MANY AND MYSELF TOGETHER, ART IS A BLESSING TO THE EARTH.
I BELIEVE ART IS MAGIC FOR CONNECTING THE ENVIRONMENT AND HUMANS.
EARTH - ART - HEART. ”
