Tina Takako Prentis

Painting, mixed media, collage.

My mixed heritage (I’m from Japan, but have lived here in the UK for much of my life) has made me very interested in how culture shapes artistic taste. I love colour, and enjoy abstract painting because it allows me to express my emotions freely and directly. As an exploration of my inner self, I can follow the accident and find new shapes and forms that challenge conventional expectations. It’s also great fun!
