Yuko Takahashi
I am a self-taught artist who was born and raised in Japan. The beauty of Japan, childhood memories, and the unique nature of Australia influence my art.
My work has been featured in various exhibitions, including Sculpture by the Sea Cottesloe (2015, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024) and Sculpture by the Sea Bondi (2023, 2024).
My sculptures are in public and private collections, including the Janet Holmes à Court Gallery, WA and the Minderoo Foundation. I have also been the recipient of several local art awards.
