Makiko Kitama is a classically trained painter from Sapporo, Japan. Drawing from a very early age she can remember picking up pencil, crayon, or paintbrush to capture images from her imagination and the surrounding countryside.
In 1999, Makiko moved from Japan to Vancouver, British Columbia. In 2006, Gibsons, BC on the beautiful Sunshine Coast became her home.
Makiko has painted many different subjects over the years. Since she has been an animal lover her entire life, she is attracted to paint more companion animals such as dogs, cats, and other animals.
Makiko works on a commission basis. Portrait painting of "What You Love" captures not only the likeness, but also personality, story and emotions.
