The Essence of Nature, Delicately Rendered Sachie Koyama translates her sublime aesthetic vision of nature through a variety of media, including pencil, watercolor and oil. She has said that in her work she seeks an exquisite balance of colors and shapes, and indeed her watercolors in particular are explorations into the interplay of rich tonal layers and painterly waves of color. They come together with grace and beauty in her paintings, as the distinct yet harmonizing shades support and complement each other. If her watercolors are about the balance and grandeur of natural flow, then her work in pencil is about the details, the microcosm to the macrocosm of her paintings. Her pencil work is a passionate and exquisitely detailed investigation of lines and how they can accumulate power and redefine the space of the canvas. Sachie is often inspired by the silhouettes of branches, the shapes of clouds, and the sunlight as it plays on the water.

Like an array of wildflowers, her work in pencil often spreads energetically across the landscape of her canvas, yet it is an energy which invites the viewer’s gaze to explore the depths of the stunning passion displayed there. As we take in Sachie Koyama's wide variety of strikingly unique work, we feel her inspiration as well as her love of nature's enigmas.
