Kelly Yamagishi is an illustrator, born, raised and still residing in Southern California, working primarily with traditional watercolor & ink. As a 4th generation Japanese American, Kelly’s work draws from Japanese influence and acts as a way to reconnect with her culture. Through her brushed line work and washes of watercolor, Kelly attempts to capture the quiet joys of existing, injected with some subtle humor & whimsy in the small details.
