Venture Gallery presents Noriko Yoshikawa-Constant, our featured local artist for March. Her exhibit, From the Kitchen to the Printmaker, features her charming monotype prints of dogs and cats.

About Noriko Constant

Noriko is a Japanese-born artist whose journey has been shaped by many roles - wife, mother, gardener, and animal lover - all influencing her artistic approach. She first studied oil painting in Japan, then stepped away from art for nearly twenty years, returning with an urgent passion for printmaking.

Specializing in monotype prints, Noriko exquisitely conveys her energy, vibrancy, and humor through depictions of dogs and cats, showing that art is a universal language beyond words. Working on plexiglas and copper plates with oil-based etching ink, she captures spontaneity and emotion. Her expressive images show her joyful spirit.
