Discovering facts about nature in the disciplines of science, physics and mathematics fascinates her, however, Misa’s work addresses the theme of affinity with and reverence to nature - the more than human world. Following in the quietly meditative tradition of Japanese nature paintings, she seeks to capture invisible energy or spirits flowing in nature. All her work starts with a spontaneous and playful mark-making inspired by her emotional response to an experience of nature - landscape, organism, phenomenon - as well as works of literature on nature. Misa’s process reflects nature’s simplicity belying the complexity in the craft and production. Layered with marks and shapes, the final images often have a feeling of figurative or animal forms emerging within abstract images. Through a variety of marks, she creates a strong sense of movement across the surface. Originally trained as a printmaker, Misa uses printmaking as a way of making marks. The unpredictability of monotype printmaking fuels her imagination when creating images. She mainly works with watercolour paints to achieve ethereality that reflects the transiency and elusiveness of nature.
