Harumi Abe is a Japanese-born artist whose landscape paintings explore evolving environments, identity, the sublime and our relationship with nature. Raised in Tokorozawa, Japan, she has lived in South Florida for more than two decades, drawing inspiration from the landscapes of her birthplace and the ecosystems of her adopted home, and works from her home studio in Hollywood, Florida. Painting in acrylic and acryla gouache, she weaves together memory, place and the impermanence of the natural world. Her solo exhibitions include shows at the Saladrigas Gallery at Belen Jesuit Preparatory School in Miami, the Oolite Arts Walgreens Windows project and the AIRIE Nest Gallery in Everglades National Park. Her paintings are in the de la Cruz Collection and the Girls' Club Collection. She has received South Florida Cultural Consortium grants (2008, 2021). She holds an MFA from Florida International University.
