These photos are from her collection called "Voodoo Mamma". Jacqueline Okuhara studied art history in Europe and Canada but she specialized in textiles and jewelry making which is taught in schools for several years. After a long while, she decided to start focusing on her own art. She taught herself how to use a computer graphics program, although the site did not specify which one. She does not use scanning - everything is drawn and painted using filters, masks, fills and the like to create her images. She says the images are based off of her "own life experiences and personal preferences."
I liked the way she uses bold colors and lines to create a very strong feminine character in her work.
Hello Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI love the way females are represented in these pictures thank you so much for showing us this work of art. Does the first picture have a blurr effect?
