Meet Keiko Tanabe

Keiko was born in Kyoto, Japan and moved to the US to study. After learning basic drawing and watercolor painting skills at a local community school in San Diego, she took on her first project as an artist together with her father, a renowned scholar of French literature in Japan.

Keiko embarked on a professional art career in 2005 and started exhibiting publicly. In the same year, she took a workshop from Alvaro Castagnet and discovered the joy of Plein-air painting. Since that year her paintings have been juried into many exhibitions across America and in Asia and Europe.
Her work has been purchased by private and corporate collectors from all around the world. She also had her paintings published in leading art magazines in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Additionally, her art has been published to date in nine books as well as on four DVDs. She's also a sought-after workshop instructor. Since 2011, she has been invited to and completed successfully more than 400 workshops and numerous live demonstrations around the world.

In 2015 she was named an official Ambassador for Winsor & Newton. In 2018, she was appointed to the advisory board of the American Watercolor Weekly. In 2018 and 2019, she was invited to be a faculty member for the Plein Air Convention & Expo, the world's largest Plein-air painting event. Since 2021, she has been an Official Savoir-Faire, Sennelier, Cretacolor, Fabriano & Raphael Advocate. Keiko currently lives in San Diego, California.
