Artist Statement:
My work celebrates freedom of
spirit through the purity of
color and brush strokes, light
and movement. Each uplifting
piece is a glimpse into a
boundless environment. A
quick glance sets a mood or
conveys an emotion. More
contemplation reveals
intriguing details and
surprises. Because there is an
element of chance that enters
my process, I find it exciting
to see the unique and
unexpected effects that emerge
with each new painting. For
me, the gentle shade
variations are peaceful and
soothing. The bold, bright
colors are rejuvenating. I
feel a sense of harmony. Each
viewer, however, brings his or
her own experiences and
perspective to each painting
and may see something
completely different. I hope
that my artwork stirs your
emotions, lifts your spirits,
takes you on your own private
journey, and inspires what
matters to you most.
My middle name, Sanaye, by
which I sign my artwork, is
pronounced sah-nah-yeh. The
meaning in Japanese is the
first, the strongest, and thus
the premium sprout to break
through the surface in a crop.
I value the symbolism of
Sanaye and strive to do the
name justice....

| Your Personal Biography |
I loved the simple beauty of my color palette when I was blending colors together to paint landscapes. My just colors collection was inspired by that observation. Instead of painting from a palette onto a canvas, I predominantly use the canvas itself as the palette. I find it exciting to see the unique and unexpected effects that emerge with each new piece.
With a paintbrush in hand, I seem to never tire. The gentle shade variations are peaceful and soothing. The bold, bright colors are rejuvenating. The sun often rises before I realize the whole night has vanished. I hope that my artwork stirs your emotions, lifts your spirits, and inspires you to reach new heights.
My name is Marlene Sanaye Yamada. Carrying on my mother’s tradition of signing artwork by her middle name, you’ll find “Sanaye” as the signature on each painting and drawing.
Sanaye is pronounced sah-nah-yeh. The meaning in Japanese is the first, strongest and thus most premium sprout to break through the surface in a crop. I value the symbolism of Sanaye and strive to do the name justice. |
