California-born artist Erica Ward has spent over ten years in Tokyo, where her delicate ink and watercolor creations reflect a deep affection for the city.
Drawing from art nouveau and ukiyo-e traditions, she blends urban architecture, nature, and figures into dreamlike scenes that feel both recognizable and fantastical. In her imaginative world, goldfish bear cityscapes, hair morphs into winding streets, and birds rest atop ramen shops and bookstores. Each artwork is a layered visual tapestry, inviting viewers to explore the intricate rhythms of Tokyo’s vibrant, poetic disorder.
