AME TO MORI

Ame to Mori is a Japanese artist and sculptor born in Niigata Japan and based in Nagano, Japan. Her works are mainly exhibited in Japan and has been gaining love from the collectors for its handpainted unique sculptures and unique themes and stories she has for each piece she creates. AG Gallery is currently the only gallery in New York City that exhibits her work. The works currently exhibited at AG Gallery are called “landscape cats” as she paints a landscape on each body of her cat sculptures.

LIZ HUGHES

Liz Hughes is Liz Hughes is a printmaker who makes open and limited-edition linocut prints which are designed,
and hand printed in Norwich, UK, under the mantle of The Pepper Press.
The inspiration for her work comes from the natural world, plants, animals, insects and curiosities.
She is interested in colour and form and the juxtaposition of shapes and pattern.
Linocut printing is a, fairly, recent technique for Liz, having a background in drawing and painting for
many years. She graduated from Bath Spa University with a degree in Fine Art, where she explored a
very different approach to image making. Her paintings were carefully planned and constructed,
with as much emphasis on the ‘ground’ as the ‘figure’. Printing, by contrast, involves an area of
chance or surprise. Liz finds planning the final image can change considerably from its original point
of conception and working in the ‘negative’ throws in its own challenges with the print reveal always
creating something she hasn’t designed or conceived. This unexpected element is something she
embraces with her image making.
