Nature-inspired, hand-crafted illustrations with a Japanese folk art aesthetic.

Mayuko Fujino is a self-taught paper cutout and stencil artist from Japan, now based in Columbia County, NY. Drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese stencil textile designs and the Mingei folk art movement, she has been creating art since 1999 for clients such as the National Audubon Society, The Atlantic, and The Nature Conservancy.

A dedicated birder, Mayuko finds inspiration in the natural landscapes and rural life of the Hudson Valley. Through her work, she seeks to connect with fellow nature lovers and support environmental conservation efforts. She currently serves as a board member of the Alan Devoe Bird Club in Columbia County.

For those interested in learning more about her artistic journey, creative process, and philosophy, an interview is available with Natural Earth Paint.

Mayuko hosts a monthly radio program, Beakuency: Meet Bird People in the Hudson Valley!, on Wave Farm's WGXC, a community radio station based in Greene County, NY.
