Akiko Suzuki:  
is a textile and mixed media artist living in California, U.S.A.
In 1986 Akiko Suzuki graduated in visual design from Kyoto College of the Arts where she studied photography, video and three-dimensional production.
Suzuki started making quilts in 1990 and has won numerous art quilt awards both domestically and internationally and has been collected all over the world.
  Since 2014, she has participated in Global Art Project co-founded  with Carl Heyward.
She has co-facilitated  art residencies including group exhibitions, solo and collaborative studio practice and workshops in Italy, USA, Mexico and Senegal.
Suzuki's works express poetry and the intangible, invisible things; thoughts and skin sensations become words and images 
This intuitive work, like a novel, is born from everyday life and the words spring from her flood of images becoming poetry reflected in the title of the work. The expression of these emotions also extends to photography and video.
Her works are visualized as abstractions via sumi ink, paint, collage, fiber and textile art. Her solo exhibition SONGS OF A LITTLE BIRD is scheduled for July 2026 at NY2CA Gallery in Benicia, Ca
