Hi, I’m Nashy!

My real name is Natsuko Rowlands. Mother to a cheeky 3-year-old (JP × AUS). Graduated art uni in my 30s and now drawing on my iPad. Living the quiet life back in my snowy hometown of Yamagata after stints in Tokyo and Niseko. Still figuring things out, slowly realising less is more. With a glass of wine.

Nashyこと、ローランド奈津子と申します。日豪3歳児の母。30代・未経験から京都芸術大学（通信課程）で美術を学び、iPadで描く画家に。パンデミックをきっかけに東京とニセコの二拠点生活を経て、現在は地元・山形へ。“Less is more” の精神で生きています。

Unearthing everyday marvels

I mainly focus on natural motifs, finding small moments of wonder in the everyday that we so often overlook.

ふだんは見過ごしてしまいそうな「なんてことない日常の名もなき感動」みたいなものを描いています。

Healing through art

Having experienced burnout myself, I found a sense of healing through learning and practising art. Through Nashy I hope to share this feeling with others. With the goal of bringing even a tiny bit of ease and playfulness to the hearts of others in these turbulent times, I pursue my creative journey every day.

アートを学び実践することで、がんじがらめになっていた心を解いていくような、癒やされていく感覚を見つけることができました。Nashyを通じて、出会ってくれた方々とこの気持ちを共有し、少しでもゆるみやあそびを届けられるよう、クリエイティブの道を追究しています。
