This gallery features Annette Makino’s haiga, a Japanese art form combining images with haiku. The pieces in the top row are collages made with hand-painted and torn Japanese washi papers and other found papers on cradled birch wood. The images in the bottom row are painted with sumi ink and Japanese watercolors on paper using bamboo brushes. If you are interested in purchasing a painting, please contact the artist.
