Portrait of artist Tsukasa Kashiwamata Gandy

Meet the artist

Hello, I'm Tsukasa.

I create paintings and illustrations that celebrate nature, atmosphere, and imaginative places that belong to you.

I was born in 1997 in Tokyo, Japan, and have called the Pacific Northwest my home since 2023. I work across oil, acrylic, pen, colored pencil, and digital media. My art moves between detailed observation and luminous color. I am especially drawn to water, mountains, changing seasons, and the meeting of Japanese and Pacific Northwest landscapes with whatever our imaginations can co-create.

Please send me an email if you are interested in commissioning a painting that is custom made for you.
