When one walks into the creative space of Tim Okamura, it is plain to see that you have entered into what can easily be called Okamuraland. His creative universe is peppered with cosmic symbols, coded messages, kings and queens, and an extraordinary paint job. As a matter of fact, painting is the name of the game in Okamuraland.
Tim Okamura has been on his creative journey for quite a long time. The child of Japanese and Canadian parents, he grew up in Western Canada, surrounded by nature and a lot of people who didn’t look like him. He was different, in a time and place, where being different wasn’t so good.
