Madoka Ito (b.1973) grew up in Kyoto, Japan. Raised by non-traditional, artistic parents, she continues the custom of non-tradition. She received her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art in 1996 and enjoys oil & ink painting on wood. Her work is poetic, whimsical & dreamlike, but she also creates playful & humorous paintings. Her collaboration with sculptor Johnny Mac started this year. They create mechanical, moving paintings called "Cyclectic Art." She has shown her work in Boston, Portland & Tokyo and now lives in Portland, OR
