Hello there!
After graduating from Ithaca College with a BFA in Theatrical Production Arts, I moved to Philadelphia to be the Scenic Art Apprentice with the Walnut Street Theatre. Since completing my apprenticeship I have painted with several theatres around Philadelphia.
When not painting scenery I am seeking to build worlds and tell stories by/with/for underrepresented groups. Regardless of the job, my work is collaborative, explorative, and joyous.
Most recently, I have taken my work out west! I am currently living in Denver, CO where I am exploring the local art community.
Thank you for checking out my work! For more examples paired with witty captions follow me on Instagram @jhiyama_art
