about
“In Japanese, my name means summer fruit — reflecting warmth, growth, and creativity.”
(b. 1990, San Francisco, CA, U.S.A.) Natsumi Pamela Inoue has loved drawing since childhood, but after choosing to pursue business management in college and beyond, she kept regretting about not following her passion for art. That changed in late 2023 when she took a one-day landscape oil painting class. Since then, Natsumi continues to nurture her inner artist and find great joy and fulfillment in every piece she creates.
Guided by instruction and mentorship at Hannah’s Art Place, she focuses on tender, impression-driven works that capture the emotional presence of her subjects. Through soft details and sense-driven imagination and craftsmanship, her paintings invite viewers to feel the care she puts into each piece and connect with the emotions behind the imagery.
In addition to her own creative practice, Natsumi specializes in supporting local art businesses, with a focus on event coordination and small business operations. It’s her honor to assist artists and friends in doing what they love while making their work more visible, organized, and impactful.
