Born in Sydney, Australia, Nanami Cowdroy creates pen and ink art works that combine her Japanese and European heritage with a modern sensibility.
Her signature detailed style reflects a refined monochrome palette with her name ‘Nanami’ (meaning ‘Seven Seas’ in Japanese ) stamped in red. Fluid line-work, watery creatures and Goldfish are some of her favourite subjects, and distinctive forms which are featured in her artworks.
These delicate and bold images seem timeless and modern, and they are all beautifully rendered.
