About me

Born and raised in Japan. Studied fashion design. 
Mayumi Yamakawa Studied Sumi-e (Japanese ink-wash painting) with the renowned artist Hozan Matsumoto in her home town, Kobe.

Following her relocation to Germany in the late Eighties, she founded and managing director of an advertising and PR agency in Munich.

Currently focused solely on creative art activities. Yamakawa immersed herself in the use of traditional and modern European methods and recipes to make her own paints, and in handling these paint "raw materials". As a result she discovered egg tempera and tempera grassa (egg oil tempera) as effective mediums for painting, and at the same time broadened her artistic range.
