Decorative Painter \u00a0YUKA NATORI<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yuka Natori Decorative Painter<\/span><\/p>\n

I was born in Kanagawa, Japan in 1981 and I currently live on the Sunshine Coast, in Queensland, Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n

My fascination with painting started when I was very young, under the influence of my grandfather. <\/span><\/p>\n

I watched my grandfather paint the interiors and exteriors of our house. He also painted lovely pictures and murals for all his grandchildren to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n

I used to spend a lot of time with him in his garage, and I even helped him paint the roof of our house.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result of my grandfather’s influence, I loved art and drawing classes at school, and often got so absorbed in sketching that I forgot the next class and kept on drawing.<\/span><\/p>\n

I continued to love art throughout my schooling, and set my wishes and intention to work with art into the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

I happened to stop by a bookshop and came across an interesting painting company advertised in an architecture magazine.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company was looking for a painter for a big project. I took the opportunity to apply for the position, and I got the job!<\/span><\/p>\n

So at 19, I started working as an apprentice, and everyday I was learning new ways to paint.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I still remember how much fun I had every single day and wondered if I should be getting paid for doing something I enjoyed so much.<\/span><\/p>\n

After working on more than 1,000 painting sites, including theme parks and shops in Japan, I gained experience and skill as a painter. Eventually I became a site manager and carried out a variety of tasks, from meeting with clients to managing personnel and budgets, and learning the overall work flow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although I loved painting and was happy at my job, I felt a calling to learn other languages and improve myself in other areas.<\/p>\n

In 2015, I left my job and moved to Australia by myself. Ironically, I met many local artists and creators and was inspired to paint more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Living in the wilderness of Australia has been an entirely new experience. I have become more environmentally conscious, and have been inspired to create artworks out of nature using wood, shells, leaves and recycled waste.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would like to share with clients the power to create with paint, to create individual pictures and to create unique spaces in our homes and shops.<\/p>\n

I would like to share my skills and make art accessible to as many people as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some people may think that art is too difficult and might be embarrassed to even try it.<\/p>\n

However, by learning the basics of painting, you will be able to express yourself with colours and nurture a confidence to paint and\/or draw.<\/p>\n

I offer DIY painting classes for beginners, Painting classes for children, Mural painting classes, and Sign painting classes.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to contact me for more information.<\/p>\n
