Yuma Kemp, a creative soul with a passion for art and a heart for healing. Her journey began when she arrived in the United States at the age of 12, facing the challenge of fitting in without understanding English. Through arts and crafts classes, she discovered the profound joy of self-expression beyond words, sparking a lifelong love affair with art.

After majoring in Ceramics at Tama Art University in Tokyo, Japan, Yuma embarked on a diverse career path as a language teacher, spanning over a decade and touching the lives of students from all corners of the globe. Alongside her teaching endeavors, she graduated with a CiiAT Art Psychotherapy Diploma in March 2022, driven by a desire to deepen her understanding of how art can empower and heal.

In her creative realm, Yuma delights in exploring various mediums—from paints and collage to crayons and clay—believing that anything that brings a smile is a treasure. Her belief in the transformative power of art fuels her mission to help others discover their voice and inner selves through creative expression.

For Yuma, art is not just about aesthetics; it's a gateway to healing and self-discovery. She believes that through art, we can tap into new experiences and unveil the true essence of who we are meant to be. Join her on a journey of artistic exploration and let the colors of creativity paint a brighter, more vibrant world together.
