About
Manami Yagashiro Lingerfelt

​Artist Statement 
    My art is lyrical and mystical and possesses a universal appeal 
expressed through oil/acrylic painting, embraces nature and enlightenment.
I strive to express love and light through a pleasing flow of color 
and magical themes that evoke a connection of two worlds colliding; the reality and the dream, with a strong abstract style by oil painting. 
​    My mission is to provide a glimpse of the joyous beauty of life, to make this world a little brighter place through art.
