My name is Ayumi Piland, I create paintings, drawings, and illustrations under the name Ayuyu. I also collaborate with my partner under the name APAK ( <a title=\"apakstudio\" href=\"http:\/\/apakstudio.com\" target=\"_blank\">apakstudio.com<\/a>) . I was born and raised in the country side of Saitama, Japan until I came to the USA for collage. I graduated from Kendall College of Art&amp;Design with BFA in Illustration major in 1999. After exploring the world to find a new home, my husband and I landed in Portland Oregon. Since then our family has grown we have a 3 year old son and two boston terriers. I am excited about my life and ready to explore in and out of myself and beyond through art.<\/p>\n<p>My work is focused on communicating love, compassion, friendship, relationship and harmony. Exploring the interrelationship of people, animals, nature, and the universe and noticing what&#8217;s surrounds us as individuals and as the whole is essential to me. It would be a great achievement if I could remind people how precious our lives are and give them a smile for the day.<\/p>\n<p>I have worked with many wonderful clients as below and am looking forward to work with many more!<\/p>\n<p>Chronicle Books<br \/>\nLittle Otsu<br \/>\nMelville House<br \/>\nNickelodeon Magazine<br \/>\nPenguin Books UK<br \/>\nPoketo<br \/>\nPortland Monthly<br \/>\nSanta Fe Newspaper<\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to contact me for any questions and opportunities.<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:ayuyu@apakstudio.com\">ayuyu@apakstudio.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
