About the Artist – Yuka Yamaguchi
Born and raised in Japan, she is a self-taught artist whose practice began from an early fascination with the inner life of the body and mind. She studied social work before choosing to move to Canada--to challenge herself, to live beyond familiarity, and to experience cultural diversity firsthand. Life as an immigrant brought its own set of complexities. In navigating a new language, new landscapes, and shifting notions of belonging, she turned to drawing as a way to understand and express her evolving identity. After living in Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Kingston, she settled in Saskatoon, where she continues to create work rooted in intuition, memory and the intimate dialogue between body and self.
