Japanese skater Keiko Tanabe was born in Kyoto, Japan. As a child who grew up in an art-loving family, she had a practical relationship with painting and drawing from an early age, and repeatedly won awards in children's art competitions...
However, in later life she did not immediately choose art as the main specialty of her life. Keiko Tanabe received a BA in Intercultural Relations from International Christian University, Tokyo, Japan and an MA in International Education from Los Angeles, California.
She then worked in the international relations department of a Japanese trade organization, a large law firm in San Francisco, and a private consulting firm in San Diego.
Over the past 25 years, she has traveled extensively, mainly to Europe, Asia and North America.
Throughout all these years, Keiko carried in her heart a growing desire to one day become an artist.
Her love of travel and keen interest in other cultures eventually found expression in 2003.
After learning basic drawing and watercolor skills at a local community school in San Diego, she took on her first project as an artist with her father, a renowned scholar of French literature in Japan. Keiko Tanabe illustrated her father's book. Since then, she has been actively studying free self-expression in watercolors.
Art critics and connoisseurs of watercolors assure that Keiko Tanabe managed to say her new word in the vast world of contemporary art in general and in watercolor painting in particular.
Keiko herself believes that the basis of her success was her drawing lessons as a child, when no one taught her anything, forbade her anything, and did not say anything bad about a single work.
