Hiromi Takizawa is an artist, mother, and educator whose work is deeply rooted in her early experiences in Japan. Raised at the foot of the Japanese Alps, she spent her childhood exploring forests, rice fields, and wasabi farms, where a quiet sense of wonder shaped her curiosity about the natural world. These formative moments continue to influence her practice. Hiromi draws inspiration from delicate details such as lichen on stone, shifting reflections on water, and the subtle glow of changing skies, translating them into luminous installations and landscapes in glass. Now based in Southern California, her work evokes dreamlike scenery. She has exhibited widely, including at Heller Gallery and UrbanGlass in New York, the Orange County Museum of Art, CA, and S12 Gallery in Norway.
